WAR AND THE BODY

a performance by karen g. williams and david boykin
Presented by Insight Arts  $10 Donation

The theme of war and the theme of the body have found themselves in every imaginable discourse, from anthropology to community activism to current politics. When analyzing these ideas, they are often inundated with ideas of morality, ethics, and aesthetics. In this performance, I will bring these two themes together to examine the varied ways they converge as well as examine them separately. Realizing that there is more than one way to examine the concept of "the war and the body", this performance will diverge from the obvious, namely the "War in Iraq" and the "War in Afghanistan", to consider the body in relation to the "war on drugs"; the warehousing of bodies in prisons; and war as a metaphor used in discussions of health.
