Announcing the 2023 Dark Matter Residents!

We’re so excited to announce our 2023 Dark Matter Residency cohort! This residency supports emerging artists of color whose work challenges the hegemonic hierarchies of race through performance and visual representation. We aim to provide artists with a flexible space and a network to help develop their work and career. Keep an eye out all year for Dark Matter Residency performances and experiences!
