summary: For the last session in our Fictionality series we will explore this together with artist Toon Fibbe, by turning our professional selves into (drag)characters.

**The Fun-DING Body-ody-ody lead by Toon Fibbe**
For Fictionality III, the infamous Anna Delvey will serve as our guide and teacher. Known for posing as a wealthy German heiress while scamming New York’s elite, Delvey convinced the high society to invest in The Anna Delvey Foundation, her vision for a club and art gallery.

As Anna shows us, funding bodies shape not only the projects they fund, but also the identities and behaviours of those who seek their investment.
