performingborders

performingborders is a curatorial research and knowledge-sharing platform that explores the relationships between performance, the digital space and lived experiences of intersectional borders. Run by Xavier de Sousa, Anahí Saraiva Herrera and Alessandra Cianetti, performingborders has woven a hybrid tapestry of interconnected and cross-border experiences through interviews, artistic commissions, publications (print and digital), residencies, workshops, conversations, events and more – all freely accessible on its website. The platform focuses on the development and collaboration with Transborder Artists – migrant and diasporic professionals, thinkers, writers and organisers whose lived experience is shaped by intersectional barriers. Its work seeks to nurture these practices, while also designing new spaces, networks and ways of working, informed by a deep understanding of systemic injustice. performingborders is a platform where artists, methods and approaches intersect, think together and imagine expansive new ways of connecting through live art and performance.
