Lors de sa contribution à la RAW Académie, RoseLee Goldberg guidera les participants à travers l’histoire de la performance et les motivations à l’origine de la création de son organisme à but non lucratif. Elle débattra des procédés de la commission artistique avec Tracey Rose et présentera certains des moments forts de Performa 17 avec l’idée d’activisme visuel comme fil conducteur. Au cours du séminaire, les participants seront encouragés à partager et à réfléchir sur la manière dont la performance peut être influencée dans leur propre environnement par des questions culturelles et socio-politiques.
