ISCP seeks participants to take part in resident artist Maja Bekan’s collaborative work "P for Performance: (Rehearsing)Togetherness HOLD IT TOGETHER. WE HAVE EACH OTHER." which will occur over several months’ time, through meetings once a week virtually or in person, depending on conditions—from May through November. This project is a series of constructed situations exploring the possibilities and potentials of/for collective intimacy as a tool for political, cultural and social transformative force. During weekly one to two hour sessions hosted by Maja Bekan there will be a set of activities and rehearsals on the subject of collective intimacy—a kind of building of trust, communication, and exchange of ideas among participants. Bekan will initiate events such as digital meetings, and later on, readings, trips to museums, lectures and performances, researching the way the issues of everyday life and artistic performance infuse one another. These sessions are imagined as an open conversation where all the participants are invited to contribute. All travel and meeting costs will be paid for by ISCP.
