Meeting Tania Brugera

Faced with Tania Bruguera's impossibility of traveling from Havana to Buenos Aires (since, at that time, her passport was retained by authorities), the Bienal de Performance - BP.15 sent a representative who shot a long record of Bruguera's performance in Havana, and an exclusive interview with the artist.
On May 20, 2015 at 10 a.m., the artist Tania Bruguera began her 100-hour uninterrupted reading of Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism. With this act, she founded the 'Hannah Arendt' International Institute of Artivism, which comprises four different labs on Useful Art, Behavior Art, Applied Arts, and AEST-ethics.
Between May 20 and 24, different situations arose when a simple reading of Arendt's book led to a complex collective performance between the artist, the participants of the workshop, and different official representatives.
We invite you to participate of the first public presentation of these archives, along with the exhibition of selected material.
