THE PROJECT IS MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE OF TAIWAN.

There after Here: Performing a Verb is to employ the discourse of performativity in its varying contexts, among them linguistic theses, deconstruction, queer theory and performance studies. By moving beyond the purely discursive form, the profound account of bringing theory into being, the project intends to exercise its implications of performativity beyond performative acts and to discuss how the notion of body politics can be (re)defined by alternative interpretations. 


There after Here: Performing a Verb, is a curatorial project in 2017 to develop bilateral cultural exchange with the aim of building a long-term dialogue between artists in Latin America and Asia. Curated by Jo Ying Peng, the visiting artists include Su Hui-Yu, Cheng Yi-Ping, Chang Wen-Hsuan, River Lin and Yu Cheng-Ta who will conduct artistic field research towards a series events presented by Vernacular Institute, Mexico and co-organised by TCAC (Taipei Contemporary Art Center), Taiwan.
