Mis(s)placed Women? by Tanja Ostojić

The “Mis(s)placed Women?” is a 4-days-long performance art workshop with Tanja Ostojić.

The art project will take place from 7th to 9th September, in a variety of public spaces in Istanbul. Organized by international performance art platform Performistanbul in collaboration with Tarabya Cultural Academy. The outcomes of the workshop will be presented to the public, two weeks later in the Beykoz Kundura Cinema.

The workshop will focus on the exploration of the Live Art practices and methodologies in relation to the individual experiences of displacement. Participants are invited and encouraged to share and exchange experiences and issues of marginalisation, displacement, exposure and privilege. Those performances continue themes of migration, and relations of power and vulnerability with regard to the mobile and in particular the female body.
