It’s the perfect setting to share your favourite tunes with an energetic crowd and take your turn belting it out yourself after others take the stage. Above all, don’t be shy, just go for it – because Karaoke Night is 100% inclusive fun!

The 2026 edition of the PHI residency welcomes Eva Quintas, and Spoonful of Dirt, a collective formed by Andrea Williamson and Nina Pariser. Throughout the month of June, the public is invited to discover the emerging forms of their research and to contribute to them through this exhibition, as well as during a series of free public activities. While distinct in their approaches, the works presented here converge around shared concerns: questioning the environments we inhabit and shape, assessing the effects of human constructions on a diversity of living beings, and dreaming up futures in which more equitable modes of organization might emerge. In resonance with each other, these projects reveal different ways of inhabiting, perceiving, and relating to the territories we share, while opening onto the imagination of new configurations and modes of existence.
