Imposter Switch

  • Performance Works Northwest 4625 Southeast 67th Avenue Portland, OR, 97206 United States (map)

Celebrating the imposter syndrome living in each of us by poking a little

fun at the idea that mastery is necessary for creative viability and inviting artists

to courageously switch disciplines with another artist.

Co-curators Kennedy Verrett (Music) and Marissa Rae Niederhauser (Dance,

Video, performance art) each select 3 artists working in various disciplines. The

artists’ names will go in one hat and their disciplines in another. In a publicly

shared video drawing artists will be randomly assigned a medium outside of their

usual practice to share for public exhibition. Artists are than given two weeks to

gather supplies and prepare to show the result of their masquerade.

This is the inaugural event of a quarterly showcase!

Fittingly, our event premiers Halloween Weekend and costumes are lovingly

encouraged!

Submissions are ongoing on a rolling basis a diversity of disciplines and

demographic identities is encouraged.
