Performance: One Hand, One Voice Part of "Sites of Passage" Saturday, February 11, 2012 1:00pm Lobby of 500 Sampsonia Way FREE with paid museum admission FREE for Members, CMU, PITT & PPU Students w/ID One Hand / One Voice combines elements of Sites of PassageArtist Holly Thuma’s artistic work in voice and physical acting with unique field research she was able to do in Egypt during the height of the "Lotus Revolution" in February 2011. While there, the artist interviewed and recorded eleven Egyptian artists who had been active participants in the protests, either in Cairo's Tahrir Square, or in Alexandria. Inspired by the chant heard in Cairo during those days, they’ve named the project "One Hand/ One Voice." Their stories provide a rich personal framework for what it means to be denied the rights of free speech and assembly. The recordings are also intimate examples of the power of non-violent protests, inspired by a fierce sense of civic commitment and shared injustice. Thuma’s students from the University of Pittsburgh will have the rare opportunity to transform the transcripts of the Egyptian artists’ interviews into dramatic monologues performed in the Mattress Factory’s lobby.
