Witch’s Kitchen Presents: Shana Lutker in Conversation with Adriana Lara

Witch’s Kitchen: Part One presents a series of online events hosted by Shana, taking up themes and strategies put in play by Valeska Gert. The inaugural program brings Mexico City-based artist Adriana Lara together with Shana for a digital show-and-tell and conversation about the power of performance, the construction of identity, and approaching performance as a way of life.
