Tropicopolitan Objects
Ho Rui An
This performance is being presented in double bill with Fractured Memory by Ogutu Muraya.
Tropicopolitan Objects is the new lecture-performance of Ho Rui An after ‘Solar: A Meltdown’, which was shown in The Netherlands at SPRING Utrecht 2017. In ‘Tropicopolitan Objects’, the tropes of Empire melt away in the sweltering heat of the tropics. This lecture rewrites the history of the European colonial project as an inventory of objects (and objections) that reanimate the unruly world of the “tropicopolitan”.
