Arnolfini’s level 1 galleries will become a temporary home to Residence, a collective of Bristol based artists who make performance and live art.

United by a curiosity towards each other’s practices and a commitment to supporting each other, they share resources, space and knowledge.

Residence have recently moved out of The Milk Bar, where they were housed for the past six years under Bristol City Council’s Capacity scheme. They are now looking for a new space to call home. 

Current Residence artists are: Action Hero, Astrid Breel, Alice Human, Bella Fortune, Ed Rapley, Ella Good & Nicki Kent, Folake Shoga, Ophelia Bitz, Jasmine Loveys, Jo Bannon, Sara Zaltash, Sylvia Rimat, Ria Hartley, Tom Marshman, Zoe Heron.

From 13 to 15 April, 20 to 23 April and 27 April to 4 May Residence will be using galleries 2,3 and 4 as rehearsal, meeting and event space.
