The Mudam series is dedicated to exploring new spaces for performance and the growing significance of performative practice for both institutions and audiences. It demonstrates how performances today extend beyond traditional stages and enter museums, festivals, urban environments, and hybrid settings, prompting a rethinking of institutional strategies and audience experiences. Performance is increasingly understood as a tool not only for artistic expression but also for transforming institutional programs and audience participation. The series investigates how museums, biennials, and festivals integrate performative works that engage visitors directly, often in immersive ways, and how such formats shift the perception of liveness and presence.
Workers in Song considers performance as artistic practice, experimental space, and institutional strategy. It brings together artists, curators, and other key figures working at the forefront of performance today. Contributions span a range of styles and registers, from essayistic and non-fiction writing to humorous and experimental forms.
