We are very pleased for the generous support from The British Council, Delfina Foundation and Foundation Art Divvy are delighted to offer:
- Two UK-based artists, Anna Russell and Pei-Chi Lee, a three-week residency with Foundation Art Divvy in Lahore, taking place between 15 September and 8 October 2024.
- One Pakistan-based artist, Sidra Khawaja, a twelve-week residency at Delfina Foundation in London, taking place between 23 September and 15 December 2024
This collaboration will provide a transformative learning and development experience for the participating artists and the wider communities. Participating artists will have the opportunity to engage in research, build connections, and form relationships with art practitioners and other creatives, as well as to explore sites and engage in activities in the two cities. The residency in Pakistan was held at the Barkat Ali Islamia Hall recently restored by the Walled City of Authority Lahore, followed up with an open studio and a talk with both resident artists, Anna Russell and Pei-Chi Lee.
They also contributed in Art Divvy's exhibition called "Knowledge of the Ancients," a collateral event to Lahore Biennale 03 held at Barkat Ali Islamia Hall on 3 October 2024. During this exhibition, both artists worked on a film titled "A Seat On Circular Road" (2024, 20 min).
