Mission Statement

The Push Pops are a radical, transnational queer feminist art collective. Geared toward engendering ‘Embodied Feminism,’ Go! Push Pops employs the female body – that which is bound to a cross-cultural language of desire, signification and power – in tactical, ideological strategy. Go! Push Pops utilize gesture, exclamation and popular idiom to embody a new age discursive physicality interfacing with the ancient archetypal realm. Neo-Dada, Fluxist and Feminist, their performance work posits the body as a danger to the operation of reason and patriarchal economy of lack. A wild leap, an elusive slogan, a paroxysm of the flesh – The Push Pops reinscribe the body through participatory ritual, spontaneous performance and interactive multi-media installation.

“FIGMENTNYC2010” June 11-13, 2010 " Aerobic Utopia, Bagel Buns"

The Push Pops Collective presents "AEROBIC UTOPIA – BAGEL BUNS".
At the onset of another hot and sticky New York summer, The Push Pops Collective will give a two-day presentation on the best way to cut carbs and get those tight buns for the bikini season!  Powered by the proven methodology of the Buns of Steel series, The Push Pops will provide free personal training and diet advice to Figment participants.  As part of Aerobic Utopia, The Push Pops will construct a giant pile of day-old bagels and rolls, collected in the weeks leading to Figment.  Next to this symbolic victory hill, brightly clad Push Pops will lead several aerobic sessions to celebrate triumph over food addictions and unhealthy consumerist tendencies.  The Bagel Hill will also raise awareness for the daily food waste occurring in this city.
