Existential Territories

A series of six, monthly events that focus on artists’ writings, readings, discussion and debate. Themes include: artists’ publications, nomadism, cosmopolitanism, the avant-garde, transgression, power.

The events prioritise work that carves out new territories and disrupts established forms.
