WHY

Performance art, in circulation.

PAV is an artist-run, nonprofit project dedicated to performance art on video.

We bring artists, curators and audiences together around works that engage with the social, political and ecological realities of our time.

Rooted in solidarity and inclusion, PAV creates ways for performance art to travel across geographical, economic and institutional boundaries, while generating support for the artists whose work makes the platform possible.

The Stillness We Carry

The Stillness We Carry is a performance-based film by Aparna that explores the tension between societal expectation and personal autonomy. Drawing from lived experience, the work confronts the inherited burdens of tradition, culture, and gender, asking: What does it mean to bear a legacy you did not choose?

Join the Community.

An audience can also sustain what it encounters. Joining PAV means more than following a platform.
It means entering a cultural ecology in which attention can become participation.
You encounter an artwork. You give it time. You might share it. You might support it.
That support helps another artist make another work.
‍

This is the community PAV seeks to cultivate: not an audience defined by consumption, but people connected through attention, reciprocity and responsibility.
