Approaching Public Spaces in Mexico City through Performance

ZHdK-AVINA Fonds 2020

Dossier Internationales

The goal of this research-based project is to pursue the issues of decolonization and its impacts on the public. The medium of performance in this research field is an innovative way of asking questions in the field. The actions and performances in public space is a way to observe and analyze their everyday use and borders within a city.
If we perceive publicly used space that is shaped by cultural, political, economic, and social aspects, it reflects contemporary society. It therefore represents a changing phenomenon in terms of both the street and the city. Due to rapid growth, there are problems of segregation and exclusion. If we perceive the city as a mirror of society, we must also look at it from the aspect that its fragmentation also creates a divided nation, where togetherness no longer counts, and relationships are not lived. The privatization of public spaces reinforces this division, which again creates hierarchical violence.
