Worldbuilding Duets Residency

What art does this moment call for?

The Worldbuilding Duets Residency brings together artists from radically different disciplines to explore that central question through shared inquiry, creative risk, and collaborative practice. Throughout the residency, each pair of artists embarks on a world-building journey—blending movement, sound, story, and form to generate new narrative works that speak to our time.

This inaugural residency at the Bride’s new West Philadelphia home marks the launch of an ongoing commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and collective imagining.
