In th is lecture Jones argues that American artist Nao Bustamante queers performa nce and performs queer. Trickster and humorist\, romantic and philosopher\, Bustamante acts out through histrionics and emotional excess\, treading th e line between sincerity and fakery in her range of performance and install ation works and provokes us to think about how we situate ourselves in the world.
