FLAM VII
On Alterity

May 30- June 3, 2017, Arti et Amicitiae and Frascati Theater

From May 30 to June 3 2017, Flam presented a week of ongoing experimental performance and Live Art presentations at Arti et Amicitiae and Frascati Theater, featuring a program of cross-disciplinary and radically experimental work by more than twenty local and international artists. For its seventh iteration, Flam explored questions around self-presentation, self-transformation and a heightened state of alterity (otherness) in the digital age. With a particular focus on the performativity of ‘the self’, the artists responded to different states of alterity, for example by subverting the specific roles and social codes of today’s social media platforms. The possibilities to create, manipulate and perform different selves through selfies and constant status updates, have given rise to a variety of questions about performance and performativity. Flam VII aimed to provoke reflection and debate about the ways in which states of alterity, performativity and otherness are embodied and manifested in the daily presentations of the self. Next to Live Art presentations, this year’s program included a residency, workshops and a panel discussion about alterity.
