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.

A collaboration with performance artist and urban Shaman Irvin Morazan, Go! Push Pops Apocadoodlelypse took place in the streets of Bedstuy, Brooklyn on December 9th, 2011 outside Tompkins Projects. A post-apocalyptic vignette, Apocadoodlelypse addresses the dichotomous conditions of nature/culture, biology/technology and the metaphysical dimensions of raw animality. As part hyena, part mutated Doodle-bred play toys, the Push Pops achieve high states of spiritual alchemy through physical aggression as they maneuver in and out of Morazan’s Shamanistic spells.
