Call for applications: Residency in Colombia
Translocal network Arts Collaboratory is calling on artists, writers, cultural agents, curators, researchers and others interested in creative projects to apply for a 2018 residency opportunity in Colombia. This residency is exclusively for resident citizens from Arts Collaboratory countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
The deadline for applications is 31 July 2017. Evaluation will start on 1 August until 30 September 2017. Successful applicants will be announced on 15 October 2017.
The residency is designed to promote knowledge exchange, the melding of social and cultural contexts, dialogue, experimentation and the intersection of disciplines in order to generate collaborative processes. The residencies are open to diverse practices, offer a range of opportunities and seek processes that involve creative risk taking, which can expand the limits of the participant’s experiences.
Applicants should be willing to engage in the host organisation’s programmes and documentation processes, which will be shared via the different Arts Collaboratory platforms and will serve as a basis for the development of pedagogical tools and for the presentation of the results of the residency. Upon returning to their country, the resident commits to sharing their experience and knowledge with the community.
The residencies can extend from six to eight weeks between 1 February and 30 June 2018.
