Join us for a Research Bites conversation with Anna Martine Whitehead!

Whitehead is a faculty member at Department of Visual Arts and Chicago-based performance artist who dedicates her time thinking about the relationships between marginalized bodies, systems of violence, and modes of perception. In addition to building performances, Anna Martine writes, gathers, creates still and moving images, and makes space to iter-a-tively address questions around protocols of theater, dance, and institutional knowledge. Using a transdisciplinary approach, they bring their body and others into contact with those instruments historically weaponized for both containment and liberation such as: architecture, language, and technologies of memory-keeping.

Research Bites is a speaker series created to build community between the center's faculty affiliates and staff members in order to improve how we support and amplify one another's work.
