Dr. Mpume Simelane, Director of Mics and Steths Legacy, has been invited by Performa 17  for her work in linking Art Activism and Medicine. The exceptional work by Dr. Simelane through her experience as a gynaecologist will be the basis of advancing dialogues and raising public awareness on these crucial issues affecting communities. A public intervention of conducting Pap smears will also form an important element of the visit to Performal17 in NYC.

Performa is the leading biennial for contemporary art performance. Performa is a multidisciplinary non-profit arts organization  dedicated  to  exploring  the  critical role  of live  performance  in  the history of twentieth century art and to encouraging new directions in performance for the twenty- first century. Part of Performa’s mission is to present a biennial of visual art performance in New  York City that illuminates the critical role of performance in the history of art as well as its  enormous significance  in  the  international world of contemporary art.
