'for the circular movement of knowledge' is an online series of conversations where artists create new relationships with peers through knowledge exchange.
During one-week digital residencies, 6 Utp artists will engage in exchange with a collaborator who holds knowledge in an area of interest to them. At the end of the week they will open up their digital space to share their learnings with audience via video and podcast presentations.
