The Library of Performing Rights
A collaboration between Lois Weaver and Live Art Development Agency in London, The Library of Performing Rights aims to gather and make available materials that explore intersections between Performance and Human Rights. It is both a collection and a collecting place that allows for quiet perusal and animated interaction. Designed with Jo Palmer.
In addition to open hours, the Library of Performing Rights hosted the following Long Tables in collaboration with Encuentro participants:
Student Movements
Austerity and Philanthropy
Representing Bodies and Experiences
Archival Practices
Accessibility, Mobility, and Space
