During 2020-21 the Rehearsing Hospitalities programme has centred on addressing art and institutional potential to facilitate plural and decentralised forms of knowing and access.
Gathering for Rehearsing Hospitalities Spring 2021 invites guests and audiences to rehearse and debate hospitality towards diverse ways of knowing and matters of access. The last of the series of online events is hosted by m-cult on May 27, 2021.
