UNIDEE Residency / Cittadellarte (Fondazione Pistoletto)
Biella, Italy, November 2024
Selected for a week-long residency, 'Unfolding Ecosystems: Institutional Practices from a Networked Perspective', rethinking organizational and collaborative structures in the arts. My working group created Everything of You Inside Me Is Nice: Ecosystems of the Erotic, a 'tool-deck' of cards focusing attention on care and the body within institutional contexts. We've been selected to run a workshop at the ELIA Academy 2025, 'Life-Integrated Learning' and are also trialling it in Fine Arts Academies and local community groups in our respective contexts (Poland, Sweden, Italy).
