Cantos
Collingwood House, 2024 — Ongoing
Co-curated with Roslyn Orlando

Cantos is a performance event in which artists and writers are invited to present work in any form they choose. It creates a flexible space for experimentation, collaboration, and presentation across disciplines, allowing each participant to shape their contribution according to the work itself rather than a fixed format.

The event is also structured as a reciprocal model: all profits are returned to the artists and writers involved.
