A Memory of the Female Body – Performative Elements in the Work of Senga Nengudi By Laureen PICAUT Since the early 1960s, Senga Nengudi has created abstract and performed portraits of the Black female experience using stretched, knotted, and sand-filled tights, activated during choreographed actions in collaboration with artist Maren Hassinger. Her radical material experimentation is imbued with social, bodily, intimate, and political significance. Her performative installations, positioned at the intersection of Black feminism and the civil rights movement demands in the United States, are part of the post-minimalist debates of the 1970s. The analysis of RSVP Performance Piece (1978), a significant historical series that crystallizes the essence of her approach, provides insights into themes inherent to her work: memory, spirituality, the psychological dimension of the female experience, and the role of the audience within the performed environments she creates.
