INWEAVE – Performance and Sharing by Sara Lanner
We are delighted to invite you to an evening with visiting artist Sara Lanner (b. 1991, Austria), concluding her one-month residency at HART Social Studio.
As a visual artist and choreographer, Lanner uses the body to engage performance art as an architectural medium, translating different functions of spaces–used or abandoned, power dynamics within certain usage by communities, and as the centre of collective thoughts for framing diverse personalities. The performance INWEAVE demonstrates Lanner’s interim research in Hong Kong, followed by an artist-led sharing session. “Interweave” as a recurring subject in her performances, Lanner’s choreography combines histories of locality, found materials from the everyday, and her cultural experiences/clashes during the research process. Lanner therefore tries to pose a question: how can art deconstruct social conventions, while reconstructing them with care and social justice, promoting positive impacts for the future?

Time: 7:30 - 8:30 PM (15-min performance, followed by artist’s presentation and roundtable sharing with the audience)
