aporia : poems for critical times

Evolving from the LAPA Season I residency, LAPA Season II invites two artists as an artistic duo or pair. Working from Roger Robinson’s ‘A Portable Paradise’ (2022) and Albert Camus ‘Create Dangerously’ (1957), the residency wonders on theories and practices of collectivity, third spaces, shared inquiry and cocitizenship to consider art as a social practice. How do communities reclaim and redefine their inherent values? Artists are welcome to use existing material and projects of interest through LAPA to build their research. Rather than be prescriptive, this invites challenges and redefinitions. You might be working on ideas of communities of place and non-place, black radical imagination, postindependence histories and cultural memory
