Stacy Makishi
With Wan-Jung Wang, Song Chang and Juan Chin
You Are Here... But Where Am I?

Part interrogation and part ritual, You are here...but where am I? is an intimate one to one intervention that happens in the (terror)tory between here and there, within the border of Passport Control. Originally commissioned by Bluecoat for Liverpool Biennial 2002

 

Richard Dedomenici
Fame Asylum

Richard sets out to alter attitudes towards immigration issues among the difficult to-reach opinion-influencing female adolescent demographic by inviting four young male asylum seekers to form a vocal harmony boyband, to be launched at Performing Rights as part of Refugee Week 2006.

 

Bobby Baker
Ballistic Buns, Diary Drawings and Mad Meringues

Often involving food Bobby Baker's work is mostly based on her own experiences and concerns, including issues of women's rights, daily life, the significance, complexity and the relevance of paying attention to daily details.  For the past 6 years she has been making work about mental health issues and rights and, as an AHRC Creative Fellow Queen Mary is exploring the notion of a 'Model Family' and it's relation to mental health. For Performing Rights she will present three projects Ballistic Buns, Diary Drawings and Mad Meringues.

 

Adrien Sina
Declaration of Human Hearts

For the four days of PSi Adrien Sina will invite participants to write on specially prepared napkins their own innovative rights, emotional rights - all the emergency rights that the too-abstract grid of human rights keeps in an inaccessible area never reached by any political system, even in western countries. The napkins and texts will be accumulated as a Declaration of Human Hearts for a collective performative Gun Amnesty Picnic Party where picnickers will be invited to bring along personal items which could, in other circumstances, be considered weapons.

 

Day Passes: £10 (allows access to The Manifesto Room, Library of Performing Rights, Gallery of Utopias, Conference Plenary sessions, and all installations and daytime performances).

 

Please note: Day Passes do not include performance tickets which must be booked and paid for separately.
