During our first CCA Institutional Performance Festival week, one of our internal meetings is open to the public each day. This is an opportunity to hear how the institution speaks in private, to encounter the people behind the projects, and to get a sense of the operation of an international research center for architecture. No special programming is planned: these will be real meetings, with everything that entails.

The Institutional Performance Festival was created as part of How to: disturb the public in 2019. It was imagined as a physical event that would welcome you into the private spaces of the building—and today, with most of our meetings online, we can welcome even more people around a virtual table.
