Welcome to Cifasotheque, Cifas’ resources platform. Here you will find material that can be used to nurture artistic practice in/with public space, in dialogue with today's socio-political issues. These resources have been created or shared by artists, researchers or activists who have taken part in Cifas’ activities. They contribute to contemporary and intersectional thinking about the role of performing art in the public sphere. They are also useful, joyful and inspiring for forging artistic and collective knowledge beyond our own working contexts. The Window offers a glimpse at the latest contributions, in particular the toolbox and publications. Happy browsing!
