Glitch & Leak - Kick Off

Glitch & Leak - Kick Off

To kick off Glitch & Leak, we invite you to open up a space together that glitches, leaks and defies normative attributions.

The kick-off gives an insight into the project and marks the beginning of a collective process between artistic practice, exchange and intervention in urban space.

• With Martyna Lorenc

Glitch & Leak
Overflowing Bodies in Public Space

Errors and disruptions are welcome.
They interrupt the smooth functioning of a capitalist, heteronormative world.

The body as glitch, the costume as glitch, the performance as glitch, the space as glitch.
Something that resists optimization and categorization.
Something that leaks, that slips out of prescribed paths, leaking through firewalls.

Who shapes public space?
Whose bodies, whose gaze, whose movements are allowed here?
Who has the agency to shift the gaze?
To interrupt the algorithm of everyday life?
To break the “normative ordinary”?
To see AFK* differently?

The personal is political.
The personal is public.

On September 11, the Domgasse becomes a Run(a)way.

We design space with our bodies, costumes, sounds, and movements.
The gaze transforms reality.
Public space belongs to us.

The Run(a)way is open.
The Run(a)way is yours.
