RESEARCH RESIDENCY ARTIST
D6: CULTURE IN TRANSIT
MARCH - MAY 2019


Nicola Singh is exploring ideas of honesty and autobiography through her performance practice, focusing on her own lived experience in relation to the intersection of race and migration within contemporary art and arts education. During the research residency at D6, Nicola devised specific methods within her expanded writing practice, using automatic and durational writing, drawing, movement and improvisation to articulate and check in with her own subjectivity around these themes. At the end of the residency, she shared her thinking in a live, improvised performance for an invited audience, filmed by Sarah Boutell. 


An edited section of this film can be viewed here and is part of the artist's ongoing research project into the way in which art shapes our politics on and around race. Scroll down to view the work.
