Join Linh and Andie in a relaxed porch sitting conversation.
Both artists are a part of the CopenhAustin residency exchange programme between Copenhagen and Austin, Texas initiated and facilitated by The Museum of Human Achievement (ATX), Unlsited Projects (ATX) and Warehouse9 (DK). Join them in conversation as they share their thoughts and experiences in an informal conversation.
After the conversation we invite everyone to stay on for a community dinner. We ask that you RSVP separately for this event, so we have accurate numbers for the dinner: https://billetto.dk/en/e/backy...
LANGUAGE: the conversation will be in English.
ACCESS: Level free entrance to the mainhall and workspace. Accesible toilets are accessible via a certified stairlift. This event is considered relaxed. Service dogs are welcome.
ANDIE FLORES
ANDIE FLORES (b. 1990) (she/her) is a performance artist in Austin, Texas, who uses embarrassment as a medium for investigating hyper, almost obsessive, visibility in a racialized body across barriers of border, history, and capital. Her practice works to unsettle categorical, site-specific expectations of genres of performance (femininity, Latinidad, drag, citizenry) and aims to recontextualize the mechanisms required to do the work of the absurd. Flores creates experimental live performances that pair identity and comedic culture moments with over-exaggerated, often grotesque shapes and sounds. She is fascinated by the urgent task of world-building at the edge of the limits of art-making.
Her work has been shown at Bushwig, Presa House Gallery, The Museum of Human Achievement, Ivester Contemporary, MASS Gallery, Future Front Film Fest, Contrast Film Festival, Fusebox Festival, and The Dallas Latino Cultural Center; and her writing has appeared in fields, Precog, Jezebel, and Remezcla. She was named one of Remezcla's '40 Emerging, Texas-based Artists to Know' in 2020, and made Glasstire's 'Best of 2021' list. She debuted her first solo stage show, To Get There... You Must Undergo... A Radical Transformation at OUTsider Festival in February 2023 and produced a sold-out 6-show run at Crashbox in November 2023. She was voted best performance artist and among the top three art writers in Concept Animals' Community Favorites poll of December 2023.

LINH LE
Linh Le (she / her) works with performative activism and fights for a just world for life on earth. At the moment, she explores the sensuousness and philosophy of species, making rituals for the diversity of life.
Linh Le is of a new generation of artists who with their own bodies are exploring the possibility of finding a balance between a growing desperation in a world of polycrisis and maintaining the belief in a different way of being human / species.
As a child of freedom fighters who came to Denmark as boat refugees from Vietnam, and as a witness to their struggles in Danish society, Linh Le is strongly called to free herself through dance, to challenge the norms, to transcend boundaries and explore how the body can act, transform and demand space for the less heard voices.
Linh Le is educated in Aesthetics and Culture from Aarhus University and Performance Design & Planning from Roskilde University. She is co-founder and member of the performance climate activist group Becoming Species which in close alliance with Extinction Rebellion and Embassy of the Species Copenhagen has made several performative actions in public space to amplify nature's diverse voices.
