Re:searching Together (in Two Acts)

Abstract

Here are the visual scriptal remains of – and for – two performances presented by artist-researchers Clareese Hill and Elly Clarke at Transmediale Festival On Refusal and at ERG in Brussels in January and March 2022 respectively:

- Mixtape / Shuffle Play (USA/UK 27.1.22)

- Meditational Drag/gy Sales Pitch (BEL 24 & 26.3.22)

Featuring:

● research fragments: dis:mantled & re:assembled
● wormholes: conjured & cared-for
● extracts: from past & not yet realised performances
● quotes: from artists & scholars we imagine ourselves to be in dialogue with
● requests: to unmute, to turn on video
● co-host(ess)ing
● a spanning: of time, of the western geographical terrains we reside in,
● like-minded, differently em:bodied resistance: to the drag/gy performance of academic positioning, placing, posing and posturing for the sake of legibility
