From the early 1960s, Senga Nengudi composed abstract and performed portraits of the experience of the black female body through the association of stretched, knotted, grouped, and sand-filled tights, activated during choreographed actions in collaboration with artist Maren Hassinger. Her radical experimentation with materials is imbued with social, bodily, intimate, and political significance. Her performative installations, positioned at the intersection of black feminism and the demands of the civil rights movement in the United States, are part of the debates of the post-minimalist movement of the 1970s. The analysis of RSVP Performance Piece (1978), a historical and major series that crystallizes the essence of her approach, offers perspectives on the 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.
