Do It Together 2026

DIT is our national peer-to-peer professional development programme, which seeks to enable artists to explore ideas, aesthetics and sociopolitical realities together, and build a nation-wide support network for process-led experimental practice.

Knowing that the development of Live Art practice is as much about methodologies and experiences as training in skills and techniques, DIT invites artists to delve into collective enquiries and share their process.

DIT reactivates LADA’s flagship programme, DIY, which ran unique professional development projects by artists for artists from 2002 to 2020.

Artists in Residence

In March 2025 we welcomed Samra MayanjaClaudia Palazzo and Symoné as Artists in Residence.

As part of the residency, the artists have been supported by LADA to develop peer-to-peer artist networks through open calls, which led to the Live Art and Gaming Network and the Stock Check peer-to-peer development group.
