Fascism and the Body

The Fascism and the Body roundtable event began with context and stories of control. Visual and performing arts case studies will chart history and concepts for framing current governmental attacks on bodily autonomy. Building on this discussion of oppressive and authoritarian levers of control, panelists turn to performance, gender ideology, and civil liberties lenses. These explored the gendered and sexual policing of bodies along with strategies for resistance to inspire communities of action and support at Pratt.
