Natacha Voliakovsky (Buenos Aires, 1988) is a Judeo-Sudaca activist, hi-testosterone woman and political performance artist whose work focuses on the analysis of social behavior and questions the boundaries of established rules. Her work poses a shift in the limits of artistic practices around social deconstruction and the sovereignty of the body, using performance, video, photography, and installation as means. Voliakovsky’s practice is currently focused on public space as territory to be reclaimed, specifically by women, non-binary identities, and minorities, researching social behavior in public spaces as an extension of gender oppressive dynamics that constrain the way women, LGBTQ communities, and minorities inhabit these places.
She was selected at Creative Capital Taller (NY, 2020) EMERGENYC at the Hemispheric Institute for Performance and Politics (NYU, 2019), the intensive workshop in performance art at Venice International Performance Art Week (2018), Überbau Haus, Brazil residency (2017) and Sur Polar residency, Antarctica (2014), among others. She’s created NVMethod, a series of training techniques for performance art. As of 2019, she’s developing Argentina Performance Art, the first research platform on performance art in Argentina.
