Voice and dance artist Tara Fatehi in residency at the gallery, developing a new performance project. With an interest in multi-lingual and multivocal performance, Tara leads three sessions of collective talking, singing, whispering, and moving (for those so inclined). Plus an opportunity to participate in a public performance.

Testing models for coexistence through active listening and voicing, the workshops  explore challenges of sharing space, thoughts, and feelings using performative tools. Tara brings elements from her practice in vocal delivery, performative text, relaxed singing and writing, combined with using bodies in performance. 

Tara Fatehi (Tehran, 1987) is a performance, voice, dance, and text artist. Politically charged and stuck with everyday banality, her works explore multi-vocality, unfinished-ness, ambiguity, and playfulness. Recent stages include Southbank Centre, V&A Museum, Nottdance, Montpellier Danse, ICA, Centquatre-Paris, Oslo Dansens Hus. She is the co-founder of From the Lips to the Moon music and poetry shows, author of Mishandled Archive a series of 365 public interventions (LADA, 2020), and vocalist of People of the Wind (Akazib, 2025). She was the first-ever resident artist at the United Nations Archives in Geneva (2021).

Free for all members and the general public.
