**Andreea S. Micu** is a performance practitioner and teacher and holds a PhD in Performance Studies from Northwestern University. Her research examines the intersection of aesthetics, migration, and contemporary anti-austerity activism in the south of Europe in the aftermath of the 2008 European economic crisis. Her book manuscript, currently titled *The Performative Commons: Squatting and Aesthetics in the Austere City,* looks at how urban working classes use performance and aesthetic production to imagine alternatives to neoliberalism and (re)build the urban commons in Madrid, Rome, and Athens, where she has conducted extensive ethnographic research. Micu’s work has been published in venues such as *Performance Philosophy, pARTicipatory Urbanisms,* and the upcoming *Art & Housing Struggles* anthology by Intellect. Her teaching interests include performance ethnography, arts activism, Marxist feminism, and critical urban studies.
