About Zaratan AIR

Driven by the desire to intensify and exchange knowledge with artists through creative and productive practices, in 2015 Zaratan announced the promotion of an international art residency. Its goal is to mix experienced with emerging artists and give them the possibility to bring their work in an experimental context through exchange and collaboration within the local network. The artists-in-residence at Zaratan are given the opportunity to develop a project over a fixed period of time, and to reflect and consolidate their artistic practice in the specific context of Lisbon.

“We provide private accommodation, 24/7 private working studio, technical assistance, promotion and communication support, open public presentation of the residency process,” Zaratan AIR said. “Although labs and technique-specific facilities are not available, we will do our best to fulfil your needs, providing logistical support for producing work and events within our network of partners and collaborators. All artists are encouraged and welcome to share the outcome of their residency through talks, performance, open studios or other form of public presentations.”
