creating a nexus between activism and the arts. Melanie Manos in Conversation with Deb King.

Topic: 
Activism
Art

Melanie Manos' performance work has romped on the tightrope between absurdity and solemnity since the late 1990s, giving a view into the tension between the individual and the exigencies of modern society. Whether through the Beckettian work of unending circularity with MBC partner Sarah Buckius, physically demanding minimalist body sculptures or the recent narrative-based work performed at Marygrove College in Detroit, Manos reminds me that performance is at its core political.

LGTB Pride Beograd: In what quantity are human rights consumed? A Text by Zoe Gudovic

Topic: 
Activism
LGBT and queer issues

The PRIDE PARADE took place.
This is roughly the fourth time that there was an attempt to organize it, gather the people, stroll down the streets, so that we can show that lesbians, gays, trans and queer people exist in Serbia. However you classify yourself, whichever group you belong to, you either think you have freedom or you know that you don’t have it.
