HEMI: CRCA lab researcher Micha Cardenas will be presenting a workshop at this year’s Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics (HEMI) Summer Encuentro in Bogota, Colombia.

The title of her workshop is “New Hacktivism: From Electronic Civil Disobedience to Mixed Reality Performance”. The outline for the workshop is below. The Encuentro’s theme is “Staging Citizenship”.

From the description of the Encuentro: “Our 7th Encuentro invites interested participants to investigate “cultural rights” and their complex relationship to citizenship in both historical and contemporary contexts. We understand cultural rights as a juridical figure, a technology of power and an articulation that brings together multiple political demands, social subjects and modalities of citizenship. They allow us to explore the relationship between performance and politics through diverse expressive forms, analytic categories, disciplines, traditions and movements.”
