Politicians and state actors perform authority and ‘truth.’ They disrupt and persuade. They cajole, trick, and lie. At times, they use force. Some of them are good people. Artists and activists also use performance to make political interventions through various methods. Political stagings and contestations include discursive, visual, and performed strategies, space/time, scenarios/scripts, event-ness, audience, gender, sexuality, and race both online and off.
