OUT NOW! Interspecies Performance

Edited by Laura Cull Ó Maoilearca and Florence Fitzgerald-Allsopp

Una Chaudhuri

Interspecies Performance brings together artists and scholars from across the disciplines to interrogate the rich terrain of contemporary interspecies performance practice - specifically in relation to non-human animals. The book foregrounds an intersectional and ethically oriented approach that centres care, empathy and collaboration, and considers the deep entanglement of contemporary oppressions.
