RUFA is officially a cultural partner of the eighth edition of the Venice International Performance Art Week 2023, December 15-17, 2023: one palace, three days, more than thirty artists live and on exhibit.
Venice International Performance Art Week 2023 presents the exhibition “DigiLabAir | Emergencies of the Contemporary”, focusing on sustainable development as a fundamental principle of our societies.
The DIGILABAIR exhibition comprises 24 performance-based video works, 15 realised during digital art residencies hosted by the five project partners' European non-profit cultural associations. The results are further disseminated on the PAV Performance Art Video online platform, launched on this occasion.
EMERGENCIES OF THE CONTEMPORARY features a live performance program with internationally recognised and emerging performance artists addressing pressing issues such as marginalisation, poverty, climate emergency, migration, accessibility, social and gender equality, justice and peace.
International artists also include Marta Jovanović, RUFA artist and coordinator of the Department of Visual Arts, who is featured with the performance SOLA, curated by art historian Anja Foerschner, founder of ECC Performance Art.
