NOW SEEKING SUBMISSIONS and HUNGER STRIKE PARTICIPANTS http://theglobesityfestival.org/submissions.html
COME JOIN US for a Week of discussions, solutions, community building and PERFORMANCE.
Art becomes action when its intention is vested in the interest of the people, bringing Solutions to light. Action becomes Direct Action when we engage in an ACT of confrontation beyond the confines of the space society designates for the artist.
This act is a HUNGER STRIKE. A HUNGER STRIKE for SOLUTIONS.
We are inviting artists to participate in a juice fast, then conceive a work of performance to be performed at the festival in October.
This is a HUNGER STRIKE for a reConnection with the beautiful regenerative powers we possess in our bodies and in our mind. A STRIKE for SOLUTIONS. They tell us shopping is patriotic and dissent is not! Let’s stop consuming for one week. We need to come together to share and build effective solutions to the exploitative consumer culture that is quickly destroying our planet, our cultures, our spirit and our bodies. Change starts with the personal. Let’s take back our bodies, so we can begin to take back our communities, our country and our world.
Come join us! Contribute Your Art! The World is Waiting to See What YOU have to Say.
WHAT: Engage in a Ten Day juice fast and conceive a work of performance (whatever that means to you – a play, a dance, a song to the moon – whatever you do). As the work will be performed as part of a shared evening we ask that the work be anywhere from 5 to 30ish minutes. Please email a statement of intention, and a little information about who you are to submissions@theglobesityfestival.org by August 15. Go to http://theglobesityfestival.org/ for more info and fasting support. All questions will be addressed!
