Monarch Butterfly New York Performances

At ISSUE Project Room, rocío sánchez: Monarch Butterfly is the performance persona of Rocío Sánchez, working at the seam between performance and visual art. The piece borrows the monarch’s migratory logic as a framework for movement, dislocation, and return, treating the body as both an image and a working structure inside an institutional room. In New York, the work reads as a small study in how migration becomes legible through form rather than narrative. Its restraint turns the venue’s conventions into part of the subject.
