Presented by the Georgetown University Gender+ Justice Initiative, Theater & Performance Studies Program, Davis Performing Arts Center, LGBTQ Resource Center, and Women’s and Gender Studies Program.
With “Decolonize the Dancefloor,” artist and activist Habibitch explores the systems that shape our daily social relationships. Racism, privilege(s), domination(s), resistance, creation, community(ies), fundamental concepts are dissected under a sharp decolonial magnifying glass. Through politicizing their dance and dancing their politics, their work is remarkable and truly celebratory of Queer, nonbinary POC bodies.
About the artist:
Habibitch is an Algerian-born Paris-based, non-binary, queer, femme, boss, dancer, choreographer and activist. They invest spaces from the Ballroom Scene to feminist and institutional stages to express themselves creatively and politically. They frequently comment on social and political debates related to race, gender, immigration, and marginalized groups in France and beyond. Their performances and analyses are always intersectional as they decolonize the dance-floor everywhere they go. Follow on Instagram: @_habibitch_
