THIRDSPACE Art Foundation

THIRDSPACE Art Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting artistic exchange and collective engagement. Its mission involves cultivating "third spaces"—dynamic zones designed for encounter, negotiation, and creative transformation. The foundation aims to advance practices that challenge fixed hierarchies and foster new frameworks for cultural understanding, with an office located in New York City.

The foundation's core activities include organizing performances, exhibitions, residencies, and collaborative initiatives. These programs bring together artists, curators, and scholars from various geographic locations to stimulate dialogue, critical inquiry, and new forms of solidarity within the art world.

Recently, THIRDSPACE Art Foundation announced "1922 Revisited," a live arts program curated by Dr. Janine A. Sytsma. This program is scheduled to be presented during the preview week of the 61st Venice Biennale Arte from May 5–9, 2026, in Venice, Italy. The initiative aims to re-examine the historical 1922 Venice Biennale exhibition of African sculpture through contemporary performance, film, and critical dialogue.
