Embodied Activism, Sivan Rubinstein

Embodied Activism presents the debut visual arts exhibition by interdisciplinary dance artist Sivan Rubinstein. Known for her work that seamlessly blends dance, projection, and installation, Rubinstein presents a transformative exploration of creation emerging from destruction.

Working fluidly across dance, projection and installation, this transformative body of work is centred on the idea that out of destruction comes life. Rubinstein invites visitors on a mesmerising journey of visceral choreography and movement provocations, to explore highly relevant themes of migration and climate change. Embodied Activism aims to remind audiences of both our fragility and strength, and to highlight the interconnectedness that unites us on our shared planet.

Embodied Activism is co-commissioned by The Place and Aspex Portsmouth, and supported by Arts Council England, Counterpoint Arts and Portsmouth City Council. With particular thanks to Dr. Sarah Fine, Fellow at Cambridge University, Sivan’s long time Academic research partner.
