Independent artists and performance groups will be sharing their processes of making art in light of new challenges and restrictions imposed by the pandemic, with a focus on the ways in which art forms can speak to social change through practices of radical care.

There are definitely new artistic languages waiting to be discovered that might fill the many voids created by our current global situation. We are welcoming a brilliant range of artists, somatic practitioners, teachers and scholars who are facing this challenge and will share their findings and insights in terms of translating the physical intelligence of presence to the context of digital platforms, which are shifting the environment we live in.
