Open Call. ”Lifeboat” art residency

Rezidență artistică la Timișoara

The 4Culture Association is launching an open call for the artistic residency "Lifeboat", part of the Celebrating Trouble - Choreographic Convention. The project is organized by 4Culture Association and will take place in Timisoara, from 25 September (arrival) to 8 October (departure). The "Lifeboat" residency addresses artists who have suffered the consequences of major crises such as the repercussions of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, and also artists from regions where communities are facing socio-political or natural catastrophes with similar tragic implications.

About the residency: The residency invites artists with a proactive vision to join for 2 weeks an artistic context that aims to address the situation of cultural infrastructure affected by political or natural disasters or other major crises they have faced in their regions. The residency path looks at ways in which art can have an impact in similar crises situations. At the end of the residency, artists will be able to present the results of their research and will be invited as speakers at the panel discussion "Art as a means of survival" on 7 October.
