Epicenter Revolutions

Epicenter Revolutions is a performance event that investigates internal transformations within performance art. All artists in this project are transgender and/or non-binary. In their works, the artists examine how internal transformations felt within durational action(s) support transgender and non-binary identity and act as a form of political resistance.

Transgender and non-binary bodies simply occupying space is an act of resistance towards heteronormative ideals in which everyday, lived experiences guide the construction of identity and community in public and counterpublic spaces.

This event illuminates how transgender and non-binary bodies engage in durational performative action to listen, activate, and understand the personal and political affects of their lived experience. The artists insist that the acknowledgment and engagement of micro-changes felt by transgender and non-binary people creates resistance to oppression, heteronormativity, and gender binaries, ultimately creating systematic change, social justice, and united spaces where non-normative identities can flourish.

The event features works by:

• Enok Ripley
• Eish Van Wieren
• Mycelium
• Holly Timpener

The presented works are durational and so there is no need to attend for the entire six hours.

To witness, please come any time between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m.
