Gangs of performative activism overviews Pfalzer’s previous research and compares the performative strategies of: activist groups such as Pussy Riot; art collectives such as Guerilla Girls; brings together Hooliganism and Cheerleading and provides an analysis of the methodologies of performative strategies in activism, such as: costume/ anonymity/uniform, collective empathy, common objectives, collaborative actions like singing in a choir.
The group engages with the methodologies of performative activism and embodies them to experience the strength and perils of anonymity, communal bodies and collective identity.
