Structures/Forms asks about the role of structures and forms in our concepts of the future

We are at a cultural moment in which the fallibility and violence in existing structures has become painfully apparent. In this collection of work, artists are looking at how form informs our understanding of the now. These works range from an examination on practice, a reordering of footage lost and found, a performance that layers language, to an interactive website of music and movement. Nostalgia, abstraction, dailiness, and lineage weave through each work as each artist considers how the self interacts with the forms around it. It is our (optimistic) hope that by challenging/shifting/examining our current structures, we can imagine new ones.

Make a donation to support the artists of P/FPF

We recognize that the current economic realities are unprecedented, and we want everyone to be able to access the important and timely work in P/FPF. All contents of the festival are free, but if you have the means to do so, we encourage you to make a donation to support the artists. Many artists have chosen to have their shares redirected to racial justice organizations.
