ABOUT

Performance as Process brings together a wide range of cultural practitioners to explore the role ‘performance’ – from daily routines to public protests to religious rituals – plays in society. The programme considers performance as a way of approaching and understanding the world, just as much as it is a medium of producing art or engaging with the public. 

Residents are invited to research, create new work, meet, collaborate, share skills, and reflect on the performative aspect of their artistic practice.

Within the context of this programme Delfina Foundation has provided commissions and platforms for residents to present their work – often through collaborations – including at: performance ‘open studios’, exhibitions, venues such as the British Museum, programmes at Frieze Art Fair, and the Venice Biennale.
