Salt Lake City, UT - The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMOCA) is pleased to present
When Flesh Becomes Matter: Bodies Unbounded, a body and movement performance by Yasin Fairley (Ya-Ya).
Ya-Ya is an MFA graduate from the University of Utah, whose research and dance performances examine race, gender, and sexuality. Informed by critical theory and framed within current movements such as Black Lives Matter, Ya-Ya's performative works embody political resistance and unsettle cultural norms.
Choreographed by Ya-Ya, When Flesh Becomes Matter: Bodies Unbounded takes place in UMOCA's exhibition, Object[ed] which responds to the ideas of exclusion, space, and objecthood within the artworks.
Join UMOCA as we kick-off the application period for the Spring 2017 iteration of UMOCA's LGBTQIA youth-focused program, Out Loud. Out Loud is an artistic platform for youth voices in the LGBTQIA community that promotes a safe space for interactions with peers, mentors and the greater community, helping students build positive social connections and share experiences with others. To apply to be an Out Loud participant, click HERE.
Performances will take place in 30 minute intervals: 6:00, 6:30, and 7:00 PM. Ya-Ya will lead a movement workshop that is open to the public following the final performance. There is a suggested $8 donation to attend this event.
