Rouge is an hour long performance action by Nikhil Chopra. Nikhil will be drawing a large scale landscape on the wall with lipstick. Nikhil incorporates everyday materials, and for instance, lipstick— a cosmetic often associated with make up, femininity, sensuality and sexuality will be used to transform the body and the space around it. Nikhil’s performances often critically examine stereotypes based on identity; nationality, gender and class, while walking the fine line between performance art, theater and landscape drawing. Rouge is a part of programming for Why You So Negative?
