Asia Discovers Asia Meeting for Contemporary Performance (ADAM) 2021
April 20–May 6, 2021
In ADAM 2020’s An Internet of Things, artists and culture practitioners were invited to rethink the digital culture and art ecosystem under the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, ADAM will be hosting a series of online programs conceived by international artists to continuously stimulate exchanges of thoughts and practices, and the Artist Lab will bring together Taiwan-based artists to examine the geopolitical ecology of Taipei. ADAM also announces an open call for ideas on the occasion of Rehearsing (for) the Future.
In Rehearsing (for) the Future, artists self-identified as Asian, wherever they are based as individuals, collectives or Asian-and-non-Asian mixed groups are invited to propose research-based ideas that respond to our times in a post-COVID-19 context and imagine the future to which the artists would like to shape and contribute. This context is including but not limited to concerns of climate and natural catastrophes, human equality, social distancing, and travel restrictions, among others. The projects shall potentially be realized via online forms, audio tools, remote rehearsals, or physical performance settings with less travel restrictions.
The selected projects will be presented as a research-sharing in ADAM’s online program in December 2021. Taiwanese artists are particularly encouraged to collaborate with international artists to submit their proposals.
The application is accepted in English. Please submit the proposal here.
