Our Mission

THIRDSPACE Art Foundation supports artistic exchange and collective engagement through the cultivation of third spaces, dynamic zones of encounter, negotiation, and creative transformation. Drawing from the widely embraced concept of third space as a site for dialogue, and Homi Bhabha’s decolonial theory of third space as a liminal ground that challenges fixed hierarchies and dominant narratives, Third Space Art Foundation advances practices that expand cultural understanding and foster new frameworks for connection.

Through performance art programs, colloquia, exhibitions, residencies, and other collaborative initiatives, the foundation brings together artists, curators, and scholars across geographic and cultural divides, creating platforms for sustained dialogue and shared inquiry. These initiatives open space for dialogue across cultural and geographic boundaries, encouraging participants to reconsider established narratives and imagine new forms of connection in ways that resonate with Bhabha’s conception of the third space. In this way, the foundation seeks to catalyze critical inquiry, deepen mutual understanding, and support the emergence of new forms of cultural exchange and solidarity.
