The Contest in Context virtual event series will continue in 2021 with a lineup of engaging and interactive events as we prepare for The Contest of the Fruits Exhibition & Book Launch this Fall 2021!

The Contest in Context: EYE TO TIP
Thursday, February 4 | 4:30 PM EST

At the height of a global pandemic when the virtual displaces the corporeal, how do we discover emotional or physical embrace? When words choke, the body orates; when the verbal falls silent, how can facial gesture or the embodied smile compensate?

Artists Mukaddas Mijit and Hussein Smko collaborate to experiment with geographical distance in a disconnected digital world to create intimacy. Utilizing the exemplary tool of pandemic conversation, the Zoom link, these two performing artists challenge themselves to depict the beauty and failure of long-distance communication. Wordless with stolen sounds, EYE TO TIP is an interconnected live performance grappling with the displacement of emotional, physical, and intellectual intimacy in our current society.

This event is part of the The Contest in Context event series. All events are free to attend and require advanced registration.
