Elske Rosenfeld, "A Vocabulary of Revolutionary Gestures"
Artist Talk at the University of Minnesota
Rosenfeld’s ongoing project “A Vocabulary of Revolutionary Gestures” uses materials from 1989/90 and recent global protests and uprisings to explore how political events manifest and inscribe themselves in the bodies of their protagonists.
In this lecture, Rosenfeld will present her project for the first time in the United States.
