Performers: Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Julie Sparling
Performed in San Francisco, California, in 2001.
Political street intervention by Guillermo Gómez-Peña (here as a 'Tamed Global Artist' from 'Genoa, San Diego') and American artist/activist Julie Sparling (here as a 'Corporate Dominatrix'), protesting the imprisonment of international border-crossing multimedia performance group Publix Theatre Caravan during the G8 Summit in Genoa, Italy, 2001. A parody of international cultural politics and a critique of racism and police brutality, this performance demonstration was enacted in San Francisco in the context of a series of demonstrations at Italian Consulates around the world.
