Domus Artist Residency's Perform(Her) Edition Explores Performance and Tarantism in Salento
Perform(Her) will take place from July 18 to 22, 2022, at the Domus Artist Residency located in Galatina, Salento. This initiative emphasizes queer studies, disability studies, and ecofeminism while exploring the theme of Tarantism. Established by Romina De Novellis (Naples, 1982) and Mauro Bordin, Domus operates from a traditional Salento residence acquired in 2017-18. The residency examines issues of violence in Mediterranean contexts, including Tarantism, the decline of olive trees, and migration. The schedule includes roundtables (July 18-20), a video installation (July 21), and a public action (July 22). Notable participants are ORLAN, Rada Akbar, and philosophers David Zerbib and Massimiliano Mollona. Future endeavors involve showcasing The Last Supper at MAC VAL in Paris and a performance festival with Périféries.
