How to use this site

Welcome to the Hemispheric Institute! This website is currently undergoing a major transformation. Our vast archive on performance and politics in the Americas includes materials related to:

• Performance Theories
• Performance Art
• Performance & Activism
• Women and Performance
• Queer Performance
• Migrating Aesthetic Practices
• Intangible Heritage
• Spectacles of Religiosities
• Music and Dance
• North America
• Central America & Caribbean
• South America
• The Afro Americas
• The Latino Americas
• The Native Americas
• Pre-Conquest
• The Conquest
• Performing Colonialism
• Staging the Nation
• Globalization and the Public Sphere

The re-designed site will be organized around those topics and will be searchable by category. At the moment, however, you can find our materials by:

1. Using our Google search, which will find all instances of specific words you type into the search box.
2. Navigating the site by exploring the sections where materials are available:

• Encuentros (information and videos on the artists, activists and academics who participated in each year's event)
• Web Cuadernos (on-line curations of multi-media materials created by Institute members)
• Archive (interviews, student work and online resources)
• e-misférica (peer-reviewed online publication focusing on performance and politics in the Americas)
• e-gallery. (virtual gallery featuring visual artists dealing with related themes in their work)

* (Due to copyright laws that protect selected essays, our Courses section is password-protected, accessible only to our registered students. All other areas of our site are fully available to the general public, including the discussion Forums.)
