We Should Not March To The Beat of The Same Drum

‘We Should Not March To The Beat of The Same Drum’ is a performance by Rebecca Strain in CCA’s Project Space as part of the Bounce Festival.

Drawing on Homi Bhabha’s notion of the ‘third space’—where cultural meaning is negotiated rather than fixed—this live performance explores the tensions between heritage and innovation, collective memory and individual expression.

Fort Dunree—a site where military history intersects with contemporary art—serves as the starting point for Rebecca Strain and Martha McCulloch’s 2023-24 body of work. This live performance emerges from that exploration, seeking a space between past and present, individual and society.

Rebecca Strain is a visual artist, single mum, and eco-feminist, and lives with clinical depression, dyslexia, and anosmia.
