INVERSE Lab | Marcela Torres

INVERSE Lab, a monthly series at the Momentary, presents artists working in various methodologies of performance art. Situated in material, movement, and time-based practices, this series works with artists to demonstrate the vastness of the form. Join us as we continue the conversation with Chicago-based performance artist Marcela Torres, in collaboration with RECESS.
