An UPRISING performance is a public demonstration of revolutionary practices.
UPRISINGs are experimental ways of practicing the skills we need in order to achieve a global culture of justice and compassion. I believe that if we can grow more comfortable with our post-revolutionary selves and social relations, we will be better equipped to recognize even momentarily liberated spaces. We will feel less shocked when we actually manifest a radically loving revolutionary culture.
The UPRISING performance project began in January 2008 and continued once a month for five years. There were 60 UPRISINGs in all, involving easily thousands of people in 8 US locations as well as Russia, Denmark, the UK, and Portugal. The most recent UPRISING performance took place April 3, 2018 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
The UPRISING project is featured in Nicole Garneau’s book Performing Revolutionary: Art, Action, Activism, published 2018 by Intellect Books and availably in both print and audio format, narrated by Nicole Garneau.
