Drawing on two exhibitions, Moving Bodies, Moving Images and Out of the Margins: Performance in London’s Institutions 1990s – 2010s, this episode explores the relationship between performance art and the contexts in which it is shown. Guests featured in this episode include co-founder of Live Art Development Agency, Lois Keidan, artists Hetain Patel and Leah Clements, and curator Erin Li.
