Queer New York International Arts Festival: Tiziano Cruz
Company:
NYU Skirball
NYU Skirball presents the Queer New York International Arts Festival, featuring works from a diverse group of international artists, running February 7-17, 2024, at NYU Skirball. The festival, returning to New York after a six-year hiatus, questions traditional definitions and the understanding of queerness in artistic practice in concept and/or form. The 2024 festival features artists from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, and Germany whose works explore a range of contemporary issues related to queer identity and marginalization, opening up topics such as sex work, migration, Indigenous rights, political prosecution, and the new conservatism. QNYIAF, curated and produced by Zvonimir Dobrović (founder and artistic director of Queer Zagreb and Perforations festivals in Croatia), will include performances, a video installation/exhibition, and a series of public talks with artists and curators.
Tiziano Cruz (Argentina)
Conference
Lecture/Performance
Conference, from Argentinian artist Tiziano Cruz, is a lecture-performance created from a selection of autobiographical events. Cruz composes scenic narratives invoking the memory of the body and the power of his Andean ancestors, in a desperate attempt, not only to silence the mourning of his dead sister, but also, as a possibility to reconcile with the world. There will be a discussion following the performance.
Tiziano Cruz is an interdisciplinary artist whose work fundamentally brings together visual and theatrical language, performance, and artistic intervention into public space. Tiziano has been a Fellow of the National Arts Fund and the National Theater Institute ARG. He was the winner of the Biennale of Young Art 2019 and nominated for ANTI prize, Finland, 2023. He is the founder of the ULMUS Cultural Management Platform, dedicated to mediation between different cultural organizations in Argentina and neighboring countries. He currently serves as a Content Producer at the Recoleta Cultural Center in Buenos Aires.
