Live Performance at the RISD Museum

During one of the RISD Museum's Third Thursday events, I pretended to be a museum docent and held a gallery-talk on Charles Cordier's "African Venus". The talk was given exclusively in Portuguese while I addressed a group of empty seats. Part formal analysis and part critique, it addressed the struggle of attaining visibility for marginalized bodies in elite and creative spaces.
