CUNY Grad. Center Presents NoPassport Arts Conference Feb. 13-14

The conference will focus on a wide range of contemporary works for theatre and performance, viewing historical memory, legacy and r/evolutionary art from a variety of formal perspective. Topics that will be addressed in panels and works-in-progress include: US Latino/a and African-American theatre history and cross-generational paradigms for artistic production, conflicts and mis-readings of aesthetic diversity vis-a-vis identity politics and post-racial sensibilities, migration and exile as they affect content and form; genocide drama and the representation of sacrifice on stage; the ecologies of theatre criticism in the US; queer dis-identifications in Latino/a theatre; new media, dramaturgy and hybrid performances, and the unfixing of international theatre. There will also be a book launch for four new volumes from NoPassport Press.

Curated by Caridad Svich, Randy Gener, Patricia Ybarra,
and Frank Hentschker.
