taxonomía of a spicy espécimen: a public performance pedagogy

Since the Enlightenment, taxonomy has been a Eurocentric enactment through which Otherness is constructed. This public performative padagogy co-operates with its audience as spect-actors to problematize and disrupt learned habits of hierarchizing, categorizing, and naming minoritized subjects and their practices.

Professor of Anthropology, Shane Greene, will moderate a Q&A with the artist/educator following the performance.
