Party for Freedom
Party for Freedom explores the potentials and dilemmas of liberation in a culture at odds with itself, drawing upon histories of experimental performance, theatre and film, satire, biopolitics and popular media.
Party for Freedom looks at freedom as a deeply conflicted and contradictory entity, by responding to the freedom rhetoric of the far-right, whilst reflecting upon the historical baggage of the left-wing and ethos of the cultural avant-garde through whitish nakedness, unresolved revolutions and indigenous appropriations of spirituality.
The Party for Freedom DVD has been created as a representation and collation of the Party for Freedom project through documentation of immersive live events, live music concerts, live performances and a large-scale three-screen video installation.
“Party for Freedom achieved an immense and difficult task as an iconoclastic project. There is no mould yet for these ideas! Spectacular!”
