Live art event tackles body positivity & political climate

IT Sligo Performing Arts presented an evening of Live Art at the Factory Arts Centre Sligo, last night.

Featuring nine pieces by third year students, the work tackles social media, body positivity and the political climate through interactive installations and performance.

IT Sligo, Arts Lecturer, Una Mannion said: “Live Art is an opportunity for students to engage with issues they care about and that directly affect them.

“The event allows students to direct themselves in a durational performance where they are in immediate contact with their audiences.

“It is a unique experience for both them and the spectator.”

Dylan Fox gave his audience an option to fire a pellet gun at him for his piece called “Triggered”.

Michael Bonner, argued with strangers who sat opposite him for ‘Newton third law: every action has an equal and opposite reaction’.
