2025 Gala NYC A Space for Everyone Welcome Over the last 4 decades Performance Space New York formerly Performance Space 122 has been propelling cultural theoretical and political discourse forward. Founded in 1980 Performance Space became a haven for many queer and radical voices shut out by a repressive monocultural mainstream and conservative government whose neglect exacerbated the emerging AIDS epidemics devastation. Carrying forward the multitudinous visions of these artists who wielded the political momentum of selfexpression amidst the intensifying American culture wars Performance Space is one of the birthplaces of contemporary performance as it is known today. Together with our artists and communities we have been presenting interdisciplinary works that dissolve the borders of performance art dance theater music visual art poetry and prose ritual nightlife food film and technology.
