DEMO
Public Movement presents a lexicon of public choreographies as they are performed by the state and its citizens, and the encounter between the two. Echoing Gwangju’s political heritage as the birthplace of Korean democracy, Public Movement has established a new local cell of performers to explore the question: How do we become a social body? The lexicon maps the corporal manifestations of solidarity, resistance, and care, drawing from political structures embedded in public spaces.
DEMO will be activated throughout the biennale at Democracy Square, the heart of the city, becoming a new ritual that engages with recent history and collective memory while reflecting on the challenges of democracy in contemporary society.
