Beyond the frame of the symposium, a fringe event was curated by the duo on the 30th of October, to coincide with the close of the Trashing Performance programme. The Trashing Performance Fringe consisted of primarily site specific performance art works which responded to/were in conflict with, concepts of the fringe, outsider(s), mainstream/underground, queer, trans, nomadism, boundaries/borders, and Hackney Wick (as site).
