Hosted in Performance Art Institute, San Francisco
Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Roberto Sifuentes, Michèle Ceballos Michot, Erica Mott and
Emma Tramposch of La Pocha Nostra conducted a 12-day intensive summer
workshop on performance art with a focus on the human body as a site for creation,
reinvention, memory and activism.
The prestigious ‘Pocha workshop’ is an artistic and anthropological experiment
in which carefully selected artists from several countries and every imaginable artistic,
ethnic and sub-cultural background begin to negotiate common ground. Performance
becomes the connective tissue and lingua franca for this temporary community of rebel
artists.
