Phantom Scores | New Temporary Programme Announcement Sandberg

Sandberg Instituut is pleased to announce the new, two-year Temporary Programme titled Phantom Scores, starting in September 2026 in collaboration with If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution and led by curator and researcher Eva Posas. The programme intersects and builds on Eva's research Phantom Languages within the context of Nations Without State, and the work done by If I Can’t Dance over the past 20 years in the field of performance and performativity.

The programme aims to explore the rich and interdisciplinary field of performance as a research methodology through the phantoms that live in and outside us. These phantoms bring forth experiences of repression, either on an individual or collective level, at moments of feeling caught in a world that rejects their forms of knowing and expression. Between the visible and the invisible, scores register, carry and instigate manifestations. Phantom Scores addresses the impalpable and yet present set of suggestions, actions and knowledge inscribed within bodies, their genealogies, behaviours and relations.
