    About This Event

    rocío sánchez: Monarch Butterfly is the performance persona of Rocío Sánchez, an artist who works between contemporary performance and visual art. Presented at ISSUE Project Room, the program uses the institutional frame to sharpen an interdisciplinary structure, treating the body as both image and instrument and favoring studied restraint in staging and materials. The work emphasizes process and composition over narrative closure.

    About Monarch Butterfly

    Monarch butterfly migration is the phenomenon, mainly throughout North America, where the monarch subspecies Danaus plexippus plexippus migrates each autumn to overwintering sites near the west coast of California or mountainous sites in central Mexico. Other populations from around the world perform minor migrations or none at all. This massive movement of butterflies has been recognized as "one of the most spectacular natural phenomena in the world".
