About this exposition

This map seeks to visualize the relationship between power paradigms that propel the military industrialized complex, the human body, and performance art. I was inspired by interviews with J. and S., both military veterans, and their performance practices. By using the body as a tool for research, performance acknowledges that we know in different ways, thus creating a bridge between the authority of written scholarship with lived experience. So too, veteran artists bridge stratified worlds, constantly recalibrating embodied military training in a civilian environment. By using the cultural capital of art, writing and movement, J. and S. remind audiences of invisible chains of power and authority that connects us to foreign policy and global communities. Power paradigms : neoliberalism, capitalism, colonialism Psyche: woundedness, validation, healing, boundaries
