Events & Talks

In this talk, Mélanie Weill revisits Everything Is True, Nothing Is Permitted, an exhibition at Brutus in Rotterdam that she experienced as both subject and witness. Drawing on her practice as a dancer and philosopher, she examines how contemporary performance art engages with otherness, identity, and borders—both physical and conceptual. The talk focuses on the body as a materially “poor” yet intensely powerful means of artistic and political expression, and as a site of movement, vulnerability, and presence in an age increasingly shaped by digital disembodiment.
