PARASITA ARCHIVE GRANT
FOR PROCESSING ARTISTS’ PERSONAL FILES
2020
During this period of unpredictability on the possibilities of realisation of performances and rehearsals, Parasita launches a grant for independent artists of the performing arts to convert their creative work into time for analysis, organisation and cataloguing of their personal archives. Focusing on the documentation of their paths, this exercise also serves as a work of self-reflection of the artist about their practices and the context in which they are enrolled, enhancing future ways of sharing.
