The New Genre Arts Festival showcases local, regional, national, and international performance artists together in order to elevate conversation about performance art and contemporary artistic practice. Viewers will witness a variety of performance art strategies and styles, reflecting the unique history and practice of the medium through a focus on physical expression and transformation of material through time and space. Artists who consider timely issues, subjective experience, new technologies, and social conditions encourage audiences to reimagine personal and collective experience evolving through temporal spatiality.
