Event overview
The Disabled Avant-Garde are Katherine Araniello and Aaron Williamson
The formal use of insult is a rich socio-linguistic tradition and a global, historical phenomenon - from the ‘Insult Poetry’ of the Bedouin to the ‘Put-Down Competitions’ of the Zulu; from the social obligation of the Asante Queen mother to ritually deride and ridicule her warriors, to the jibes of contemporary poetry-slams and hip-hop lyrics. Building on this dubious historical platform/excuse the Disabled Avant-Garde want to insult you. . . .
At the Trashing Performance Talks a special ‘Backstage Pass’ will be distributed to visit the Disabled Avant-Garde. Once backstage, alone with the DAG, the visitor will be interviewed on-camera in a way reminiscent of TV chat shows but with an eventual, unexpectedly acidic twist.
