Room to Bloom Artist Talk with Lena Chen + Evoking Realities

Lena Chen (@elleperil) is a Chinese-American writer and artist. Her research focuses on issues of feminism and pays particular attention to the issue of gender-based violence. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Performance Studies at the University of California and is a Resident of Studio Rizoma. In this Talk, the artist will introduce her work in Palermo.

Evoking Realities is a performance conceived by Matteo Binci (@matteobinci), winner of Italian Council 10. Can magic redefine bodies and re-enchant the world, affirming new processes of subjectification and sustaining an ethics of otherness?
