FORUM DANIELA CASTRO
Each month our residency guests will present their own work, a chosen theme, a current interest or present their residency project. Our May resident guest is writer and curator Daniela Castro from São Paulo, Brazil.
Castro will talk about previous projects in this presentation.
During her residency she will start to draft the first English written ‘performative fiction’ piece based on the particularities of that language and the Scandinavian art scene. She will also contribute to the online art critic journal Kunstkritikk.no.
