Non Grata | Anonymous Boh+Devil Girl [Estonia] is a performance group that travels constantly all over the world – Asia-America-Europe – presenting original performances and organizing the Diverse Universe Nomadic Performance festival. The main characteristics of Non Grata members are anonymity in group work, ignorance of the local art world, and critique of mass media. Non Grata manifests creative freedom and Storm Generation while physically weaving together a worldwide creative network. Around the name NON GRATA there have been different hushes and shushes for a long time. Already from the point of view of death of conventionalization of art, NON GRATA has embodied the horrible and unwanted disembodiment of the human person, from which the meaninglessness of nowadays art is pouring out. For those whose world of arts starts from the point where the art world ends, NON GRATA has been a liberator, the orphic gap in a seemingly unalterable course which, however, betrays us; it is a cure from incest. The main point of the group is ethical – it is the image of primitivism, impersonality and experimental creativity. The performances of the group take place according to the logic of avoiding codes. The presentations are physical texts whose ways of orthography and reading are kept within limits of real actions by the group members. Aesthetical and provocative challenges are represented in places where the Art World doesn’t work. www.nongrata.ee

Kezia Waters [Chicago] is a FAIRY, Queer Pentecostal Prophet. Pre/Post Human Fae. Hoodoo Worker. Ritualist Performer. Kezia Directs, Devises, Stages Performance Installations, Curates, Teaches, and is passionate about Queer Creative Healing and Children’s Theatre. Waters earned two MFA’s, one at the School of Art Institute of Chicago and another in Acting from the School of Theatre at Ohio University as an Open Ohio Grant Recipient. Kezia’s BFA is in Theatre from Western Connecticut State University.  Discussing their practice, Kezia says, “I would define myself as a Multidisciplinary Artist. Having been influenced by my Theatre Arts background I value the importance of storytelling and dialogue. I do not see dialogue as being limited to things that are audibly stated but what the work sounds like in between the pages of performance. My work leans heavily into sonic performance, I like the idea of deep listening for understanding, incorporating body and emotional intelligence as strong values. Things are repeated, chopped, elongated, reduced and expanded based on how I feel within the immediacy of a moment. Time Traveling is not only a subject matter in most of my work but a method of creation/ a praxis/ a pedagogy. I push against, overlap and reject syncopation often. Growing up in The Black Pentecostal Church traditions, despite my queerness, I think of my work as trying to find that which is holy, whole, holistic and/ or holds within Black and/or Queer functionality. I do this often through spiritual surrealism and traditional folkloric techniques.” www.keziawaters.com | www.instagram.com/fagette4life_

P R E S E N T E R S

Defibrillator Performance Art Gallery [DFBRL8R] is one of only a handful of organizations worldwide with a focus specifically on Performance Art. Recognizing a demand for spaces that adeptly present body-based visual art, founder and director Joseph Ravens created an international platform in 2010 that quickly became known for bold and courageous programming that aims to provoke thought and stimulate discourse surrounding experimental time-based practices. Actively contributing to global dialogues about conceptual, ephemeral, or immaterial expressive forms, DFBRL8R energetically bridges local, national, and global communities by presenting established and emerging Chicago talent alongside exceptional visiting artists. Defibrillator presents provocative and reputable programming to champion artists and audiences who are diverse in their culture, identities, and worldview by providing a valuable platform with a propensity for speaking to the concerns of all those who are invested in alternative modes of being in society.

el Laboratorio Tangencial de Arte Posnación {/}() {/}∆‡!(){/} is/as an independent disorganization founded in 2012. Its mission has been to serve as an artistic platform for experimental cultural production through Performance Art , language, image making, sound, exhibitions and screenings…etc. We are deeply concerned with critical concepts of origin, the affirmation of agency, intimacy, spontaneity and collaboration in how art is created, discussed and experienced. America is not a country. Calling a country a continent and a continent a country has invisibilized for 500 years the more than 37 countries that exist in the so called American continent. Which is actually called ABYA YALA and TURTLE ISLAND; name given by its native inhabitants way before the start of the European invasion in their 1942. Nations are arbitrary delineations in geography that through history have been kept the way they are by making wars against each other and others. Website: https://nonationartlab.cargo.site/
