TBA:20 Institute
Connecting audiences with festival artists and their ideas - the aesthetics, politics, critical concepts, and cultural contexts that inform their work - has always been a highlight of TBA. Sustaining the discursive and participatory spirit of past festivals, this year's TBA Institute includes a mix of reading groups, discussions, artist conversations, workshops, and post-show Q&A's, all presented virtually. We will miss bringing together large groups in person for deep dialogue, but we are pleased to make the Institute program available online, with audiences, artists, and guest moderators from across time zones.
Please note that some online Institute events have limited capacity and require registration, while others are publicly accessible. Please visit pica.org/TBA to learn more about this year's TBA Institute and how to engage.
