Maite de Orbe, ICA Artist Development Resident, launches BELIEF SYSTEMS at the ICA Studio, a monthly work-in-progress performance series.
BELIEF SYSTEMS brings artists together to share space, offering an intimate environment to test ideas in front of a small audience, followed by reflection and collective thinking. It is an open setting for conversations around making work, the current artistic landscape, and the belief systems that shape how we live. Through creativity as a tool for resistance, the series asks how we might generate new rituals of connection.
The first gathering focuses on Devotion. Five invited performers will present works in progress responding to the theme. Following the performances, audience members will be invited to respond to a question posed by each artist before continuing the conversation informally in the studio.
The series forms part of Maite de Orbe's ongoing research into rituals, belief systems and community building through their wider project, MOMOSTAR.
Duration: 3 hours
