BRUDERSCHAFT: BIRTHDAY EDITION // PERFORMANCE BY JOSEF KA AS A PART OF NOMADIC PROJECT // LONGWOOD ART GALLERY // NYC 2023

INPA presents NOMADIC: Performance Art & Territoriality
hosted at Longwood Art Gallery @ Hostos
Organized and Curated by HECTOR CANONGE
The International Network of Performance Art, INPA, presents the program NOMADIC: Performance & Territoriality at **Longwood Art Gallery @ Hostos **in the borough of the Bronx on Wednesday, September 20th, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. The program consists of live performances by local, national, and international artists, and a selection of video performances from around the globe.
As the guiding curatorial principle of this year’s program, curated by Hector Canonge, NOMADIC: Performance & Territoriality evokes the continuous displacement of performance artists around the globe and their migratory patterns to sustain their practice. NOMADIC also reflects on the corporeal challenges performance artists face as they move from one geographical space to another, and as they must adapt to temporal shifts traveling from one time zone to another. Through various modalities of corporeal expressions found in Live Art, participating artists will address notions of migration, adaptation, territoriality, and exploration in relation to corporeal expression and changing geographies.

Published by Josef Ka

International performance, visual and sound artist Josef Ka blends richly varied influences – everything from Butoh dance to cinematic theory – with her decades of nomadic world travel to create bold, highly personal site-specific art. Josef Ka’s themes range from investigating the place of the human body in contemporary reality to exploring the inner body as a representative system of our human and post human kind. Her artistic practice often actively invites the audience inside a sort of private reverie, making it is a deeply participatory one; she actively engages with both her audiences and with a wide diversity of other experimental artists. In addition to her own work, Josef Ka curates a regular series of events and exhibitions at her Helsinki underground space – Sauna Gallery – and teaches classes on the theory and practice of performance art. She is also the inventor of the WORST THEATRE and her yogic training system, KA-YOGA. https://eskargoeskargo.com/
