(Un)Commoning Voices and (Non)Communal Bodies is a new publication in OnCurating academic book series, edited by Maayan Sheleff and Dr Sarah Spies. Connecting studies of the voice and theories of the body via the politics of performativity, the publication complicates the collateral understanding of power and agency inherent in collective or communal address and participation.
The book launch will include an online lecture by performance studies scholar and curator Professor André Lepecki, live from NYC; Lepecki will discuss the politics of movement and its pause during the pandemic, followed by a conversation with Lepeki and editors Sheleff and Spies.
(Un)Commoning Voices and (Non)Communal Bodies takes as its starting point the project Un)Commoning Voices and (Non)Communal Bodies, curated by Sheleff and Spies for Reading International, UK (2019), which included artworks and workshops by Zbyněk Baladrán, Željka Blakšić, Marco Godoy, Chto Delat/Dmitry Vilensky, Noam Inbar and Nir Shauloff, Jamila Johnson-Small/Last Yearz Interesting Negro and Fernanda Muñoz-Newsome, Mikhail Karikis, Tali Keren, Public Movement, Michal Oppenheim, Rory Pilgrim, Jack Tan, Nina Wakeford and Katarina Zdjelar.
