About Performance Art Land
Performance Art Land (PAL) is a flagship project by IVAE, specifically tailored in one site for domestic artists, organisations, heritage and culture, for its local communities and audiences, and also, for international world of contemporary art. Through the PAL, we are committed to support the cross-cultural and interdisciplinary communication through creative practices, to promote site-specificity and site-sustainability and stage the global situations of climate emergency and environmental issues through art practices, amplify the unheard voice, and within our artistic and curatorial innovations, ultimately, to reinterpret the history and culture of one certain site to the world.

PAL 25-26
PAL 2025-26 invites artists from East Asia and locally from Wales, to conduct performance art on natural and outdoor heritage sites in the region. These sites, including national parks and nature reserves, coastal scenery and tourist attractions, prehistorical landscapes, cultural heritage such as castles and abbeys, and additionally, industrial landmarks and remains, construct an inspiring space to incubate new understandings through curatorial and artistic discussions. Both local and international artists will be working together to produce site-specific performance artworks, which will be thereafter disseminated through screening events, exhibitions, symposiums, etc., locally and internationally.
