This book provides a vivid account of public conversations and debates of the past five years around performance and the visual arts--from demands for racial justice to the pandemic to the impact of social media on human interactions. This book documents the 2017 and 2019 editions of the Performa Biennial along with the organization's public programs, films, and exhibitions since 2016. It features documentation of Performa Commissions and projects by more than one hundred international artists, choreographers, architects, musicians, theater and film directors, including Korakrit Arunanondchai, Nairy Baghramian, Yto Barrada, Elizabeth Diller, Maria Hassabi, William Kentridge, Barbara Kruger, Julie Mehretu, Jason Moran, Zanele Muholi, Gaetano Pesce, Paul Pfeiffer, Yvonne Rainer, Kemang Wa Lehulere, Mabel O. Wilson, and more. -- Adapted from page [4] of cover.
