Stemming from the words of Emma Goldman who led the women’s movement during the early 20th in the US, If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be a part of your revolution focuses on the very movement that these words had created. Once being on a T-shirt sold at a street of NYC, then being a name for the arts institution in Amsterdam, and finally being a title of the exhibition in Seoul. Buttressed by this formless and borderless performance created by the combination of words, this exhibition aims, by inviting artists in various fields such as illustrator, choreographer, dancer, poet, sculptor, designer and metaverse map maker, to grasp and practice the revolutionary values that lied in the ways of queer-ly world making.
