What do we need to unlearn in order to truly learn how to care? This is the question Perel explores in their performance Enfreakment (Homecoming), kicking off the Spätschicht x Schwules Museum programme. As an intervention, it will unfold over the evening within the exhibition Diane Arbus: Konstellationen.
Perel is an interdisciplinary artist whose work is centered on disability and queerness as they relate to care, consent, sexuality and personal and historic trauma. Utilising choreography to examine power exchange between the artist and audience, opening up spaces for processes of (un)learning. Their work includes performance, installation, criticism and curatorial projects. They often use collaboration as a platform for the exchange of disciplines, working methods and discourses with other choreographers, composers and visual artists. Central to Perel’s practice is the question of how we move through space and time with respect to our collected and lived histories. Their work has been shown for more than a decade at numerous galleries, theaters and performance spaces in the U.S. and abroad. Perel tours and teaches internationally, as a university lecturer and mentor to emerging disabled artists at organisations in New York and Berlin.
