Mount Desert Islander previews performance by IMRC Center artist in residence
Mount Desert Islander reported the Barn Arts Collective will present an original performance by Bangladeshi artist Ali Asgar on Saturday, Aug. 5 at The Barn in Bass Harbor. Asgar is a multidisciplinary visual and performance artist who is an IMRC Center artist in residence for the academic year at the University of Maine. From 2 to 6 p.m., Asgar will perform “No One Home,” a pop-up interactive performance that will be offered in 15-minute sessions for one audience member at a time as they try to identify their territory and body connectivity through a series of interactive and spontaneous responses, according to the article. “I want to ask questions about the belonging of our human body, how we make connection with other bodies, and, more importantly, how we define and redefine ourselves,” Asgar said. “‘No One Home’ is an invitation of meeting our own unknown.” Appointments can be made online.
