In the name of Destà: Artivism, corporeality, and 'postcolonial pathways
This article examines an artivist intervention undertaken by the Italian transfeminist collective Non Una di Meno (Not One Less) in Milan. On March 8, 2019, when the collective marked the statue of well-known journalist Indro Montanelli with pink paint, they also marked out a space of reckoning with the racism and misogyny of Italian colonialism. Foregrounding the perspective of writer Igiaba Scego, this article traces the public reconsideration …

PolySensorium Tells Your Fortune
PolySensorium is a group of scholars and artists who sponsor experiential knowledge creation in academic settings.

When the word “mountain” is sung, the d…
Martha@Martha: A séance with Richard Move
This article explores the dynamics of Richard Move's drag performance of the late Martha Graham. Drag dance is remarkably self-aware as historiography, and it employs a rhetoric of bodies becoming other bodies: channeling, paying homage, re-embodying, reliving, being possessed. This article argues that drag dance has a historical project for dance history; specifically, that drag bodies can become a new medium through which aesthetic/kinetic hist…
