The Residents

Live Art Residencies in the Reading Room, Wellcome Collection

LADA has curated four week-long artist’s residencies in the Wellcome Collection’s wonderful Reading Room.

Each artist will work with a specific theme within the Reading Room, exploring the materials and resources held in the collection in relation to their own practice and research, and leading to public ‘performances’ of their findings and conversations with invited experts.
