Professors André Lepecki and Jeannine Tang of NYU's Department of Performance Studies lead a discussion sparked by Knowles's work The Identical Lunch, which she performed from 1969 until her death in 2025, with artists, friends, and strangers joining her over the years. The talk places the piece in its Fluxus context of everyday life, ritual, and relation, and considers what it means to activate this communal performance after her death.
