Breaking Protocol Published by Inventory Press/Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School.
Edited with an introduction by Maria Hupfield. Afterword by Carin Kuoni. Collaborative conversations on Indigenous performance art, convened by a leading practitioner For Breaking Protocol, transdisciplinary artist Maria Hupfield embarked on a research project on the protocols of Indigenous performance—tracing Indigenous knowledge systems, land-preservation practices and feminist scholarship to illuminate strategies for enacting refusal within decolonial frameworks. The book draws from Hupfield’s “Coffee Break”—a series of conversations held over Zoom during the pandemic, in which Hupfield invited international Indigenous performance artists to discuss their work (from dance to stand-up comedy), who in turn invited other artists to join the conversations.
Building on these exchanges, Breaking Protocol asks what we can learn from Indigenous, place-based artistic modes of making and practice to open spaces for reciprocity and multiplicity.
