About this Event
Central to the Per°Form Open Academy of Arts and Activations is the marathon. A relaxed and casual urban picnic set in 72-13. Here, amidst hanging hammocks, an ensemble of Global South Fellows tell stories of their situated practices. Each is a window to different worlds. Inventive, funny, poignant, and riotous ways to activate possible futures. Stay for as long as you desire. Leave the picnic and then return later. Or experience it all from start to finish.
The urban picnic ends with a feast at The Commune Banquet - a convivial chatter over a meal.

About Per°Form Open Academy of Arts and Activations
(POA) returns for its second iteration in April 2024. Per°Form is conceptualised and led by T:>Works Artistic Director, Dr. Ong Keng Sen. With Per°Form, T:>Works aims to cut across silos, disciplines, and fields to support contextualised research, situated practices, and translocal knowledge production as shared resources for the future. In particular, Per°Form focuses on the arts practitioner as a thought leader engaged in care and repair, actively bridging histories, the precarious present, and world-creating.
This year, POA expands its range beyond keynotes, workshops and the marathon that anchored the programme in 2023. With an 18-day programming, participants to POA are welcome to join the Global South Fellows, hailing from Africa, Arab world, Asia, and South America, at three new platforms: Per°Form Open Academy Rave, Per°Form Open Academy Installation, and Per°Form Open Academy Studios.
The complete schedule of POA Marathon will be released in April.
