What can performance and visual studies learn from each other?

What strategies for political/social critique does their combination enable? Participants include MacArthur-award winning photographer Susan Meiselas (NYC), art historian Estrella de Diego (Madrid), Ricardo Dominguez of Electronic Disturbance Theatre (San Diego/Tijuana), political performance artist Coco Fusco (New York), the theatre company Grupo Cultural Yuyachkani (Peru), and members of artist-activist collective, YoMango (Barcelona), among others.
