Embedded Creations is a process designed to explore new ways of making; supporting experimental artists in slow and rigorous creation processes across borders.

Embedded Creations invites artists to spend time in Glasgow well in advance of presentation in our international performance festival, so that when the work lands, it does so on soil that is fertile, where relationships between artists, communities and organisations are developed. This approach allows the work to truly respond to the social, political and economic contexts in which it will be shared, while nurturing deep, long-standing creative collaborations and friendships.
