Event Information

One could ask, ‘Where is the place for culture in a crisis?’ In the months paralysed by the pandemic, we turned to art for cheer and books for inspiration. As households adapted to new ways of living, the world of cross-cultural residencies saw its own transformation. Previously marked by immersive interactions that defied borders, art and literary residencies began to explore formats that now also included interactive technologies and new storytelling techniques.

Join our panel as they trace this shift from traditional to contemporary forms of curating. They will examine how newer formats have inspired unconventional collaborations, and ask whether a virtual residency can persuade in the same way that sights and sounds of a new place do.

Find out whether the seclusion of an e-residency or the novelty of hybrid formats pose a challenge? Or does the possibility of a metaverse give artists and writers a canvas that’s truly limitless?
