Description:
You own/e me
With our final performance we wanted
to start the debate of “the ownership of life”. The goal of our performance was to make our public think about how we tend to put ourselves as humans, over other non-humans. Why do we do that and, where do we draw the line of putting ourselves first and taking ownership over others? We feel like we owe non-humans to think about this
matter more seriously. Can we own living organisms or do we owe them their own life? That’s why we named our performance “you own/e me”. We felt like the best way to deliver this message and start the debate was by building a performance. By doing this, we could carefully create empathy for humans and non-humans and make it more impactful by creating a “show”.
