About this Event
Join History of Art (HoA) for the next talk in the Research Seminar Series (RSS) chaired by Dr Maryam Ohadi-Hamadani.
This lecture will be hybrid. Please book your ticket for attendance in person or online.
This talk examines a selection of dance and performance works, and their moving image ‘documentations’, that centre on sexual intimacy and political violence in the time of HIV/AIDS in Britain. These include pieces by Michael Clark, Leigh Bowery, Neil Bartlett and Lloyd Newson.
