DIG IN Open Call – UP‑ON Performance Art Archive

The UP‑ON Performance Art Archive launches “DIG IN”, a rolling open call that invites domestic and international performance artists to submit proposals for new works. Applications are accepted continuously from the date of announcement. Selected artists (1‑2 per month) will receive manpower assistance, a budget for material costs, and food and accommodation support for up to one week to realize their projects in Chengdu. The archive also organizes exchange activities and will preserve the completed works in its documentation. Travel expenses to and from Chengdu are the responsibility of out‑of‑town artists. The call aims to provide a flexible platform for experimental, serious, and controversial performance art beyond the constraints of the UP‑ON International Live Art Festival.
