Erasing the Border Performance - Montreal
A few images from the Erasing the Border Performance and Sound Piece at the University of Quebec, Montreal "Borders and Border Walls, A New Era?" conference on September 27.
Harbage Page's research methods are conceptual and experiential, grounded in her early studies of visual art, photography, experimental or "New"music, and feminist history and activism. Her most recent performance piece “Erasing the Border” uses the distorted, often scratchy sounds of "erasing" to ask the audience to question their relationships to territories, borders, power and exclusion, and the binary logic behind social and gendered boundaries. She amplifies the sounds of erasure of a hand drawn border on a piece of handmade abaca paper designed to look like an piece of skin or parchment.
