Created by artist, Hector Canonge, PERFORMEANDO was launched in 2013. It had its origins in NYC based on his observations about the need to foster the production and presentations of performance art works created by artists who identify themselves as Latin/no/na or Hispanic living and working in the USA. Canonge had an open call inviting artists to be part of the collective. In a matter of months, he launched the initiative in collaboration with participating artists and hosting intitutions. PERFORMEANDO aims to highlight the work(s) of artists who identify themselves as Latin/na/no or Hispanic involved in Live Action Art. It serves as platform for dialogue and exchange, and fosters collaboration as well as the creation of future worldwide networks in Performance Art.
