The Push Pops is a radical, transnational queer feminist art collective. Geared toward engendering ‘Embodied Feminism,’ Go! Push Pops employs the female body – that which is bound to a cross-cultural language of desire, signification and power – in tactical, ideological strategy. Go! Push Pops utilize gesture, exclamation and popular idiom to embody a new age discursive physicality interfacing with the ancient archetypal realm. Neo-Dada, Fluxist and Feminist, their performance work posits the body as a danger to the operation of reason and patriarchal economy of lack. A wild leap, an elusive slogan, a paroxysm of the flesh – The Push Pops reinscribe the body through participatory rituals and workshops, spontaneous performance and interactive participatory multi-media installation.
Co-directed by Katie Cercone and Elisa they collaborated with artist and musicians from the underground queer, drag, hip-hop comunity of Brooklyn to exhibit at the Whitney and Brooklyn museum, Miami Basel, Manchester and Tokio, Japan. The performed actively and boldly from 2012 to 2016. 

Go Push Pops es un colectivo de arte queer feminista radical y transnacional. Orientado a engendrar un “feminismo encarnado”, Push Pops emplea el cuerpo femenino –aquello que está ligado a un lenguaje transcultural de deseo, significado y poder– en una estrategia táctica e ideológica. Go Push Pops utiliza gestos, exclamaciones y lenguaje pop y popular para encarnar una fisicalidad discursiva de la nueva era que interactúa con el antiguo simbolismo arquetípico. Neodadá, fluxus y feminista, su trabajo escénico plantea el cuerpo como un peligro para el funcionamiento de la razón y la carencia en la economía patriarcal. Un salto salvaje, un eslogan esquivo, un paradoxia carnal: The Push Pops reinscriben el cuerpo a través de rituales y talleres participativos, performance basada en la improvisacion e instalaciones multimedia interactivas.
Co-dirigido por Katie Cercone y Elisa, colaboraron con artistas y músicos de la comunidad underground queer, drag y hip-hop de Brooklyn para exhibir en los museo Whitney y Brooklyn en Nueva York, Miami Basel, Manchester y Tokio, Japón. Hicieron performances inagotable y audazmente de 2012 a 2016.
