Footprint Zero Panel Discussion with Cecilia Vicuña and Sarah Riggs
February 23, 2017, 6:00 pm
at New York University

The Department of Performance Studies at NYU present Footprint Zero, organized by Deborah Kapchan. Panelists include Cecilia Vicuña, Anna Della Subin, Khaled Malas, Emmanuel Iduma, and Jem Cohen. Moderated by Sarah Riggs and Omar Berrada. Footprint Zero serves as an international call to action for greater environmental justice. Footprint Zero looks at both the local and global concerns of environmental destruction. To maintain a low carbon footprint, artists were asked to create an artwork which could be presented digitally, live, or generally without using excessive resources or energy. Many of these artists looked at the local concerns of environmental change on the landscape and economy while others took a more global view of the situation, including excess consumption and waste. Some were linked to politics or religion and other remain more abstract and personal. For more information on the NYU Performance Studies Lecture Series email: performancestudies.nyu@gmail.com
