Returning for its second iteration, the Assembly Residency Programme is a 12-month residency for artists working in music and sound whose practices are interested in experimentation and cross-disciplinary collaboration. These artists demonstrate engagement with bold ideas, urgent issues, and/or new technologies. This year-long residency will be shaped through mentorship from artists, including Beatrice Dillon and Elaine Mitchener. During this period, the three participating artists will develop new live work to be presented at Assembly, the Studios' bi-annual series of experimental music and performance, returning in Spring 2026.
