2024, Performance: Conservation, Materiality, Knowledge

This is a first glimpse into the schedule for our long-awaited research festival and exhibition, "Conserving Performance: Performing Conservation," which is currently in its final planning phase. The events, which also mark the conclusion of our research project, will take place in venues across Switzerland from September 14 to September 29, 2024. Please save the dates and join us this fall in Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne, Aarau, and Bern! Can performance be conserved, and if so, how? And what does it mean to conserve performance? Examining performance through the lens of conservation, this research festival and exhibition celebrates performance in its social, material and epistemic networks by bringing together practitioners of performance, dance, museums and conservation with researchers across disciplines.
