Event description
Who cares? About what? To what degree? And what are you doing about it?
In these ceremonial performances, Kori Miles uses breath, sound and movement to summon the energies of protest, resistance and transformation. Through repetition and layering, they abstract the familiar visual and auditory iconography of political resistance, creating a mystical ambience for an audience to navigate - a space for contemplation on justice, liberation, rage and love.
While the first performance is a solo presentation, the second performance of WHO CARES?! is a collaboration between Kori Miles, Agnes Whalan and Irihipeti Waretini.

Workshop by Kori Miles
For the third version of WHO CARES?!, Kori Miles is seeking participants for a Performance Workshop on Sunday 26 October, 12-2pm.
The primary intention is to bring together a group of artists/performers/activists to connect with each other, and encourage lateral ways of thinking about activism + art. Kori Miles will guide participants through a series of movement and sound based exercises and will teach a specific performance methodology to help participants manifest an expression of their convictions. Learn more and register to participate.
