How does performance studies understand hunger, as somatic experience, performative agency and socially produced cruelty? How can a performance approach help understand voluntary self-starvation and related phenomena? How can it critically engage with artistic representations of hunger? What creative interventions can be made in how hunger appears? Can it be engaged or deployed as well as represented? What can the arts contribute to hunger action?

Following the online Performance Studies international conference #27, ‘Hunger’, based in Manila, Philippines in July 2022, Performance Research and Global Performance Studies agreed to publish concurrent issues on the same theme. The two issues share introductory material and thematic organization; the main content is distinct yet conceptually connected. Both issues contain sections on Hunger Action, Self-Starvation, Representing Hunger, and Creative Interventions. Contents include material developed from conference presentations as well as substantial new work responding to the joint editors’ calls for submissions.
