Galapagos Art Space presents Three Acts of Betrayal, A New Performance-Lecture by Ofri Cnaani + Hadas Cohen
“Terrorists’ whore”, “She is full with self-hatred”, “Such garbage should be executed!!!” – Mata Hari, La Melincha, Rosa Luxemburg and Tali Fahima- will be in the center of a new piece looking at women who used their body to perform national treason.
Saturday April 2nd at 5:00 P.M. at Galapagos Art Space (16 Main Street, Brooklyn). Admission is free.
Three Acts of Betrayal is presented in conjunction with Ofri Cnaani’s exhibition, The Sota Project, on view at Kunsthalle Galapagos through April 23rd.
Cnaani and Cohen ask what happens when one stops being loyal to their country? What happens when the traitor is a woman – a traitress? How are traitors judged by the state and by the court of public opinion? What spectacle is formed through the punishment?
