The 11th Edition of Miami Performance International Festival ‘22 (M/P ’22), will be held in a hybrid format, combining in-person and online film screenings and events. The in-person components of the festival will take place at The Bass Museum in Miami Beach, FL and at Edge Zones Art Space, Miami, FL. The online components will be hosted through Edge Zones virtual YouTube and Facebook platforms, with most screenings accessible globally. This year we will consider the impacts of social tension and unrest, reflecting on the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic, war and peace within Western countries, and inequality and prejudice in all levels of society and politics. These situations require a new perspective on global earthly politics, which also implies our policies for performances and festivals.

This festival puts M/P’22 video artists at all career stages in critical dialogue with one another and with M/P’22 audiences. Each year, an audience from Miami and the broader US gather to enjoy the varied ways that M/P artists represent and montage their social realities. In this multidimensional, multichannel communication its aim is to turn receivers into active transmitters and to support submissions of performance from all over the world. The festival will become an echo chamber, a resonating space of symbiotic forms of communication—a response to the symbiotic planet. The recognition that life on Earth arises and endures through the symbiosis of all life forms demanding new modes of communication.
