As If’ was a day of performance drawing on fiction as a methodology for future world-making, with contributions by artists Verity Birt, Rebecca Jagoe, Reba Maybury and Korallia Stergides. The event was co-curated by Goldsmiths MFA Curating students: Harriett Henderson, Mariana Lemos, Dot Zhihan Jia, Clémentine Proby, and Melanie Scheiner.

The event stemmed from a shared interest in performance art and brought together diverse fields of research, spanning intersectional feminism, queer theory, moving-image, language and writing, and the politics and poetics of space. The texts presented here are five separate responses to the performances, written by each curator respectively.
