Performance realizada em 2005, no marco do 15º Festival. Seu leitmotiv parte das revelações fotográficas escandalosas que foram exibidas como parte dos acontecimentos no exército Norte-americano, na prisão de Abu Ghraib, nas prisões secretas de Bagram no Afeganistão, e na Base Naval de Guantánamo em Cuba, onde colocam em evidência o uso da feminilidade como arma de controle e humilhação. A recriação do abuso se observa na submissão dos jovens reclusos, que acatam sem hesitar a voz de sua comandante, e acocorando-se em um ato inerte, ‘limpam’ com uma escova de dentes as ruas de São Paulo.

É artista, escritora e professora do departamento de Artes da Universidade da Florida, EUA. É bacharel em Semiótica pela Brown University, Providence, EUA (1982), mestre em Pensamento Moderno e Literatura pela Stanford University, EUA (1985), e doutora em Artes e Cultura Visual pela Middlesex University, Londres, Reino Unido (2007). Filha de mãe cubana e pai italiano, Coco Fusco combina performance com mídias eletrônicas, em formatos que vão de projeções em grande escala incorporadas a produções multimídia a performances participativas em eventos culturais. O atrito cultural, que lhe é familiar desde a infância, serve de matriz a suas investigações ao tratar de temas diversos como o estranhamento entre culturas e exotização do outro, a banalização da violência política em uma cultura dominada pela simulação, e o uso de vigilância eletrônica contra intelectuais negros nas décadas de 1960 e 70. Seus vídeos e performances foram exibidos em exposições internacionais como a 56ª Bienal de Veneza, Itália (2015); 8ª Bienal do Mercosul, Porto Alegre (2011); Bienal de Whitney, Nova York, EUA (2008 e 1993); Transmediale, Berlim, Alemanha (2007); PERFORMA 05, Nova York (2005); 5ª Bienal de Xangai, China (2004); 3ª Bienal de Gwangju, Coreia do Sul (2000); dentre outras exposições. Vive e trabalha em Nova York, EUA.

. . . the boundary between ethnography and pornography. This endemic dual perception of the Other, as either noble savage or cannibal, has existed at the core of European and American relations since the very first encounters. We try to play very much with these dualities. When we appear in the cage I am the cannibal, I am the warrior, this threatening masculine Other who causes fear to the viewer. Coco performs the noble savage, you know the quiet, subdued innocent. The response people have towards her is either one of compassion or one of sexual aggression.
-Gómez Peña, Bomb Magazine,1993
"The time for thinking about how the imminent political shift will impact the lives and livelihoods of artists is upon us." Hyperallergic has commissioned a series of essays about the #J20 Art Strike. The #J20 Art Strike is proposed in solidarity with other #J20 actions taking place across the country that demand business does not proceed as usual on inauguration day. The art strike asks individuals and institutions to close or otherwise observe the day of noncompliance.
The first essay in this series is by artist and writer Coco Fusco.
