Social Health Performance Club (SHPC) will present an evening of performances that engages the problematics of framing work as queer—aesthetically and personally. Simply put, SHPC asks: what is “queerness” in this context? How do their individual lived experiences relate to it? How does their presence in this festival, on this night, situate them as/among the marginalized or subaltern and relate those categories with queerness? SHPC seeks to create a conversation with the curatorial platform by interrogating its very presence in it. The evening will feature works by Ian Deleón, Geraldo Mercado, Lorene Bouboushian, Ivy Castellanos, Esther Neff, and Ayana Evans.
