For the last session in our Fictionality Series we invited artist Toon Fibbe, who proposed to turn our professional selves into (drag)characters, with Anna Delvey serving as our guide and teacher, but not without looking at the (fictional) performativity of funding bodies first...

This is the first of three installments wherein we would love to collectively explore 'fictionality'. Coming from fiction, becoming adjective and then noun again, what could fictionality mean? Why and how does this notion continue to be relevant in our contemporary times of post-truth, post-facts and widespread anecdotal questioning of scientific knowledge? What kind of imaginary power does fictionality have? And how could engaging with the porous space between fiction and non-fiction help to envision other kinds of presents and futures?
