Nelly César's performative lecture "Lxs artistas del fin del mundx" consists of four performative stories dislocated in the interstices of the wounds of Mexico City. They are designed as an attempt to affectively channel critical standpoints of reactionary social manifestations that redefine territories, social practices, ontological turning points and affective transmutations--as living proposals of expanded realities in the here and now. This performance was originally presented at the Belkin on October 15, 2019 as part of Spill Response, and features a letter written by artist Valentina Jager for Prras! Public letter for women in the arts 2019 and a performative interpretation of the text Cuerpo y Perreo: Gata Fiera written by Ameisin Clicka about the Gata Fiera event in September 2018.
