The hosting project "Settlement" (a play on the Greek words "Settlement" and "Settlement") is a

multidisciplinary initiative organized by the RODA Cultural Laboratory in the city of Karditsa. The project explores

the recent phenomenon of migration from urban areas to the countryside following successive socio-economic crises. We will host 5 international artists (visual artists and performers - ideally: 2 visual artists working with recyclable materials, to create the installation / 2 performing arts artists involved in documentary theater, to organize the performance and a filmmaker with documentary experience, to record the productions) to collaborate with us in transforming 15 oral testimonies of "returnees" into an interactive art installation and a documentary theatrical performance.

The residency is an organic evolution of RODA’s ten-year trajectory. As a social cooperative specializing in Documentary Theatre for social empowerment in rural Greece, "ΕγκατάΣΤΑΣΗ" transitions our expertise from documenting "female voices" to investigating the "identity of the returnee." Hosting international artists allows RODA to evolve from a local workshop into a European hub for artistic decentralization, blending local heritage with a contemporary international artistic language. Developing an interactive installation requires a complex synthesis of skills. The invited artists will bring specialized expertise (e.g., visual mapping, sound design, physical performance), which will transform the raw interview material into a sophisticated, multidisciplinary work that pushes the boundaries of traditional performance.

- We strive for gender balance.
- We offer flexible working hours and logistical support to meet the needs of participants.

This residency project aims to develop a participatory artistic "device" addressing the urgent issue of

violence against women. Italy is currently facing a severe crisis in gender-based violence, with increasing cases of domestic abuse and femicide, exacerbated by recent political stagnation and the rollback of

protections for vulnerable populations. The project seeks to create a space where communities, survivors,

and experts collaboratively explore, document, and propose solutions, fostering awareness, dialogue, and

empowerment. By centering participation, the initiative emphasizes the importance of collective

responsibility and social engagement in combating systemic violence. This work is crucial not only for giving

voice to those directly affected but also for challenging cultural norms and institutional inertia, aiming to

generate concrete strategies that can inform policy and inspire broader societal change.

The Finch Manuscript Lab is a 2.5 month residency set in the Southern Italian countryside to support up to 5 writers who are completing book-length manuscripts. Hosted at the Finch Country House in Serramezzana, surrounded by the beautiful Cilento National Park, the residency is carefully designed as the "final sprint" in the marathon of writing a book. It offers uninterrupted writing time in a tranquil setting surrounded by nature, a creative community of residents, and professional development sessions including mentorship and manuscript consultations with top editors and writers, craft discussions, and publishing seminars with award-writing authors, editors, and literary agents. All residents also have the option to participate in farm life including the olive harvest in October and traditional farm-to-table cooking with our local chef.

We are looking for writers who are already deep into a book project (this can be prose or poetry) and need to make a long, sustained push toward completion. A basic ability to communicate in English, Spanish, or Italian is very helpful for participation in communal life, and applicants who are actively writing in English, French, Spanish, or Italian are preferred as they will be able to take advantage of our manuscript consultations, however we will do our best to connect writers working in other languages with an appropriate mentor who is also working in that language.

+-SON 2026 Residency — 30 days

+-SON is a residency for five musicians with different backgrounds and sound languages. 30 days organized in 4 weeks to listen, collide, and build something that could only exist between these specific people, in this specific place.

Week 1 — Arrival and listening

Build trust, explore the environment, present personal practices. Deliverable: first short improvisations and field recordings.

Week 2 — Expansion and friction

New configurations each session — solos, duos, trios. Open and closed prompts, rotating roles, graphic scores. Deliverable: a sound document from at least one session during the week.

Week 3 — Collective research

The group starts deciding: which relationships to continue, which materials to develop. Longer pieces, site-specific interventions, ideas for the final showing may emerge. Deliverable: a concrete proposal — any format — for week 4.

Week 4 — Opening to the public

Final presentation of the process. Not a closed result: an opening. Deliverable: concert, installation, radio broadcast, happening — the group chooses.

The residency supports the initial phase of a theatrical production (incubation, exploration, writing), fostering a relationship between contemporary creation and the local community through the idea of “inventing the village”: using the local context, not to document or represent it, but as inspiration to imagine new narratives and possible futures.

The Inventar a Aldeia project aims to create contemporary art in rural areas.

The artist will have access to the Espaço d’Além - lugar de criação, arte e saberes workspace – a 10-minute walk from the Castelo de Bode reservoir.

The accommodation for the artist-in-residence is not located on the Espaço d’ Além premises, but in Bioucas-Souto, approximately 700 meters from the workspace. The residence provides a bicycle to facilitate sustainable travel between the accommodation and Espaço d’Além.

HYPHA_ETC ASSOCIATION | Night as Commons – Artistic Research Beyond Artificial Light

# data[].attributes.body
OPEN CALL — Night as Commons

6‑week Culture Moves Europe Residency at hypha_etc

Night as Commons explores darkness as a shared ecological, cultural and political condition. In a world increasingly shaped by artificial illumination, night has been fragmented, colonised and rendered scarce. Darkness — once a universal temporal commons — is now overshadowed by infrastructures that extend productivity, disrupt biological rhythms, and reshape the behaviour of humans and non‑humans alike.

The residency invites artistic and research‑based practices that engage with — or depart from — themes such as:

• night‑time ecologies and photoperiodicity
• the cultural, poetic or symbolic dimensions of darkness
• sensory experience, perception and orientation
• temporal critique, labour and the politics of illumination
• speculative, spatial or ecological approaches to “unbuilding” light
• light pollution, skyglow and disrupted rhythms

Darkness is approached not as absence, but as a medium of attention, a site of ecological entanglement, and a counter‑temporal space where other rhythms become perceptible.

We welcome proposals that resonate with the theme in direct, oblique or experimental ways.

About hypha_etc

EL SPACE | Mediterranean Futures for Green Art and Technology

# data[].attributes.body
The Mediterranean Futures Residency proposes a 60-day residency at EL SPACE Creative Hub, located within the historic Ennejma Ezzahra Palace in Sidi Bou Said, Tunis, a historical cultural site overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, at the crossroads of heritage, art, and contemporary creativity.

The residency will host five international artists and creative professionals working in visual arts, design, and creative technology, exploring the intersection of digital fabrication, Mediterranean heritage, and environmental sustainability. The selected residents will work collaboratively and individually, supported by two dedicated mentors.

The project investigates Mediterranean cultural landscapes, coastal ecosystems, and sustainable artistic production while encouraging residents to develop new interdisciplinary works or prototypes that respond to the environmental and cultural context of the region.

EL SPACE has 3 locations in Tunis and offer coworking spaces, fully equipped FabLabs with 3D printers, laser cutters, and electronics prototyping tools, as well as an event venue and exhibition space. We strongly encourage the use of recycled, locally sourced, and sustainable materials throughout the creative process.

Outcomes include new interdisciplinary artworks or prototypes, a public exhibition/showcase in the palace gardens or creative hub space, digital documentation, and open workshops engaging the local youth and creative community of Tunis and Sidi Bou Said. The exhibition will happen in parallel to the Tunis biennale.

The selected residents will be accommodated in a comfortable guest house, with private rooms, shared bathrooms, a shared kitchen, common workspace areas, and a garden.

During the stay, residents will have the opportunity to engage with local makers, youth creatives, and cultural practitioners who are part of EL SPACE's vibrant community, as well as participate in networking events with local cultural actors. Sidi Bou Said itself, with its white and blue architecture, coastal cliffs, and proximity to the ancient site of Carthage, offers endless inspiration beyond the creative hub.

There will be no shortage of things to discover: from walks through the medina and along the Mediterranean coastline, to cultural visits, local markets, and the rich culinary traditions of Tunisia.

# data[].attributes.body
Who Walks Here is a 28-day residency at OvestLab, Amigdala's civic laboratory in the Artisan Village of Modena West, a former industrial neighbourhood built in 1953 by craftspeople, now at a critical threshold: facing deindustrialisation, real estate pressure and imminent urban transformation. The residency invites 3 international artists to explore this context through a transfeminist urban lens, investigating how the social fabric of a neighbourhood in transformation can be reimagined through care, proximity and artistic practice, ensuring communities are active protagonists in shaping their own futures. Working alongside 3 mentors — Amigdala's "territorial curators", practitioners combining artistic curatorship with deep rootedness in the territory — residents will be hosted at OvestLab and in a dedicated guesthouse 50 metres away, embedded in the neighbourhood from day one. In dialogue with the communities already hosted at OvestLab, residents will move through three phases: immersion in the territory; co-learning and artistic development; and the creation of a site-specific work-in-progress that will reach its first full public presentation at Periferico Festival 2027.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.NE7FQurg
Visa support is a priority: Amigdala has direct experience working with visa applications for artists from North Africa and the Arab Mediterranean. The open call will be available in English and French, with attention to geographical diversity and particular focus on non-EU countries. The team acts as linguistic mediators when needed — both between residents and local communities, and supporting residents if English is not their strongest language. OvestLab's workspace is on the ground floor and fully accessible; alternative accommodation close to OvestLab is available for residents with mobility needs.

The Economics of Being Looked At

Bosa, Sardinia 1–31 March 2027

About Labó Bosa

Labó Bosa is an independent art residency, printmaking studio and gallery founded in 2022 in Bosa, Sardinia, in a converted tannery within the historic Sas Conzas district on the banks of the river Temo. Since its foundation, the programme has hosted more than 20 international artists from six countries across residencies, workshops, exhibitions and public events. The gallery operates as a live commercial space exhibiting and selling the work of former residents on an ongoing basis, on artist-favourable terms. The relationship between Labó Bosa and its artists does not end when the residency does.

The project

Bosa is a village in the middle of changing and staying the same. Tourism has arrived, the economy has shifted, the image of the place has become part of what the place sells. And yet the village keeps being itself - contradictory, present-tense, not particularly interested in being read in any one way. Whether that is authenticity or stubbornness or simply the way places survive is hard to say, and probably all three.

Artists live an equivalent tension. Between the visual grammar that is most essentially theirs — the mark underneath the style, the technique, the discipline — and the pressure to adapt it, package it, make it legible and repeatable and sellable. Between what the work is and what it could become if it were easier to look at.

The Economics of Being Looked At works with that tension directly. Five artists from five different disciplines spend 31 days living and working together in the Labó Bosa studio. The programme includes scheduled sessions dedicated to finding and developing each artist's visual grammar — the mark that is most fundamentally theirs, prior to context and prior to market. The shared output of the residency is a collaborative set of screen prints: what happens when five distinct visual grammars have to find a common language, or discover what emerges when they cannot.

The residency is structured as a village: five people, five practices, one place - coexisting, not merging. No printmaking experience is required. The sessions are guided by three mentors with complementary expertise in printmaking, collaborative process and group facilitation.

Mentors: Marco Sebastianelli (printmaking, programme direction), Enya Daniela Idda (collaborative process, art therapy), Alberto Marci (specialist printmaking, Accademia di Belle Arti di Sassari)

Facilities: screen printing and relief printing studio, generative print equipment, gallery space

AADK | ALDARRAX - Aural Cartography of Ricote Valley and the Segura River basin

# data[].attributes.body
AADK Spain offers a 62 days residency that invites 5 international artists to explore the relationship between the semi-arid ecosystem of the Ricote Valley and the Segura River basin. Working with a local geographer and an environmental engineer, artists will carry out fieldwork, sound recording and listening practices to study the ecological, cultural and social dimensions of the river. Through encounters with residents and local farmers, they will compile oral histories, local imaginaries and traditional music linked to the river and its historic Andalusian infrastructure, bringing value to intangible cultural heritage. The project combines local and scientific knowledge to foster an understanding of the river as a living ecosystem rather than as an economic resource. All recordings will form a sound map, serving as an artistic outcome and educational tool. By connecting local and international agents, the project builds a network for knowledge exchange, increases visibility for the valley and reach new audiences.

AADK Spain is an international arts platform dedicated to contemporary research and creation, with a strong emphasis on experimentation and process-based practices. Its work explores the relationships between body, territory and spatiality, paying particular attention to the aural field and to practices of deep listening within specific environments.

Since 2012, AADK has promoted the decentralisation of culture and access to contemporary art in rural contexts, connecting local territories with international artistic networks. More than 700 artists from across five continents have collaborated with the platform.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.NE7FQurg
Yes. The residency promotes inclusion through community engagement and intergenerational knowledge exchange. Activities involve local farmers, artisans, elders, youth groups, women's associations and cultural organisations. The programme encourages participation from people with different social, cultural and educational backgrounds and develops accessible formats such as collective workshops, public presentations, listening walks and community gatherings.

We invite everyone who visits us to engage in forms of coexistence grounded in mutual care, respect for difference, and attentiveness to the people, relationships and environments we share. We especially welcome applications from LGBTIQA+ and BIPOC individuals, as well as people from communities affected by armed conflict, displacement, migration, or other forms of structural exclusion. As a rural arts organisation, we are committed to fostering an environment where diverse experiences, perspectives and ways of knowing can be shared and valued.

AVISTAVULCÃO: A Casa Da Missão - Faial Island, Capelinhos Volcano, Azores, Portugal

# data[].attributes.body
Inspired by the history of the Casa da Missão, which in 1957 hosted the scientific mission to the Capelinhos Volcano, AVISTAVULCÃO today creates a space for cutting-edge artistic residencies at the westernmost point of Faial Island in the Azores.

Just as this place once welcomed scientists from around the world to witness and document an extraordinary submarine eruption, it once again opens its doors to contemporary creators — artists seeking to think and produce in direct contact with a unique volcanic landscape, where newly formed land evokes the beginnings of the Atlantic Ocean.

Since its inauguration in 2021, AVISTAVULCÃO has functioned as an active artistic residency and cultural space, hosting national and international artists and promoting a regular programme of exhibitions, performances, installations, gatherings, and activities with the local community.

At the heart of the space is the Temple, a creative and presentation area with panoramic views over the Capelinhos Volcano, the Atlantic Ocean, and the volcanic peaks. Fully equipped for multidisciplinary practices, it includes a studio, a library focused on Azorean culture and volcanology, and a viewing tower ideal for writing and reflection. The constant natural light and the extreme surroundings make this an environment of profound inspiration.

The residencies at AVISTAVULCÃO offer a refuge for artists immersed in their creative process, in a territory where wind, sun, rain, sea, and light shape the daily experience.

Resident artists are accommodated in a traditional basalt-stone house, renovated in 2018 while preserving the authentic character of the rural Capelo architecture.

Silence, nature, and open horizons make this place a rare space for creation, encounter, and contemplation. Casa da Missão, located at the westernmost point of Faial Island, 1.5 km from Capelinhos Volcano, is surrounded by nature and tranquillity, offering absolute silence and striking views. Its proximity to the natural pools of Porto do Comprido, volcanic hiking trails, and Macaronesian endemic laurel forests makes the experience even more unique.

Selected artists are invited to develop projects that engage with the uniqueness of a volcanic island in the Atlantic, establishing an intimate relationship with the rural landscape and the local community. The programme values interaction with the public, transforming the artistic experience into moments of sharing and active engagement.

It takes place in Milo, a village at the foot of Etna Volcano from 1st July to 21 July 2026. Located between Etna’s volcanic landscape and the Mediterranean coast—just 20 minutes from the sea—the residency offers an immersive environment for artistic research and experimentation. Artists are encouraged to engage directly with Sicily’s natural and cultural landscape, using the territory as a living site of inquiry. The programme focuses on exchange and collaboration. Residents share methodologies, references, and working processes while developing their individual practices and creating their personal artwork. Selected residents (18+) are offered guided walks in the volcanic landscape and nearby villages, workshops and webinars related to eco-embodied and visual arts practices.They are also challenged to co-create an interactive outdoor performance among the Sciare (ancient lava flows) of the chestnut forest of Milo village. Public performances, workshops, and installations are an integral part of the residency, conceived as moments of encounter and dialogue with local communities and external visitors.

Inner Landscapes – artictis exploration of the dialogue between inner worlds and natural environment

We are preparing a 31-day international artists' residency in Dolina Harmonii, a regenerative cultural space in the Izera Mountains, bringing together 5 artists working in performing and visual arts.

The residency explores the relationship between inner human experience and natural landscapes.

Surrounded by forests, meadows and hills, artists will create new performances, visual works and site-responsive artistic interventions inspired by direct engagement with the environment.

The programme combines individual creation, interdisciplinary collaboration and mentorship, culminating in public presentations for the local community.

One of the desired outcomes of the residency is the creation of a large wooden sculpture that will remain at Dolina Harmonii as a lasting artistic contribution to the site. We are therefore particularly interested in connecting with artists who have experience in wood sculpture, land art, environmental art, installation art, or large-scale outdoor artistic creations.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.NE7FQurg
The residency promotes inclusion through accessible communication, individual support from the hosting coordinator, flexible participation formats, mentoring and peer-support processes, and a welcoming environment for artists from diverse cultural and social backgrounds. We will also accommodate specific dietary and practical needs where possible and encourage intercultural exchange through shared activities and community life. Please note that, due to the mountainous terrain and the nature of the site, the residency is currently not fully accessible for wheelchair users.

Salesjan Theatre | The Shifting Horizon: A Multicultural ‘Treasure Island’ residency through Physical Comedy

# data[].attributes.body
The Shifting Horizon: A Multicultural ‘Treasure Island’ residency through Physical Comedy is a 32-day international performing arts residency designed to generate a new repertoire piece for young audiences. Bringing together five international theatre and music artists, the project blends the literary foundation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island with contemporary physical comedy, improvisation, and Lecoq-style movement training. Guided by an expert mentor, participants will explore the European tradition of stock characters and devise a shared theatrical language rooted in gesture, sound, rhythm, and movement—allowing the final performance to transcend spoken language and cultural barriers. Participants will learn new devising and staging techniques in a series of structured workshops whilst contributing to the theatre's vibrant performance community.

kuda.org_Novi Sad | Urban Resonance: Sound, Data and Ecological Change

# data[].attributes.body
Urban Resonance is an immersive residency project that transforms official environmental data on air, water, and noise pollution into data-driven visualizations and sound compositions. Developed through two connected residencies, for a data visualization artist/designer and a sound artist/designer, the project converts public datasets into an engaging installation and live performance.

Grounded in Novi Sad’s rapid urban transformation and ecological pressures, it connects art, science, and civic dialogue. The creations include visual works, sound pieces, a public space intervention, and a short documentary. In collaboration with local experts, institutions, and communities, the project continues the socially engaged practice of kuda.org. Inspired by the concept of “social sculpture” by Joseph Beuys, it understands art as a collective process of shaping society and the environment, contributing to contemporary reflections on communication and shared responsibilities.

O Castro Art Village | Reinhabiting Memory: Sustainable Artistic Interventions in a Depopulated Village

# data[].attributes.body
This project proposes a 30-day residency at O Castro Art Village, a rural cultural initiative in Galicia, Spain; an abandoned village turned into a centre for creativity and exchange.

The residency will host three international artists: an architect, a visual or mixed-media artist, and a sound artist, working collaboratively or individually on site-specific artistic interventions. The selected artists will be working closely with a mentor.

The project explores depopulation, memory, and sustainable repurposing of rural spaces through permanent visual and sound installations, as well as an architectural study.

The premises contain 2 hectare of forest, and 8 traditional Galician stone houses in ruins. This will be your canvas to work with. We strongly encourage the use of reclaimed and native material for the art work.

Outcomes include a research and architectural spatial intervention proposal, a visual art installation integrated into the ruins, and a sound installation accessible through QR codes placed across the village.

The selected artists will be residing in climate controlled comfortable geodesic domes, equipped with full bathrooms.

Meals are usually prepared and shared collectively in our communal kitchen. We eat well and work well :)

During the stay, the selected artist will have a chance to interact with the local community in the neighbouring village, as well as other creative residents at O Castro. After all, O Castro is a meeting point and a space for exchange of ideas.

There will be too much on your list to do in your free time as well; from hikes in the forest, to film screenings, from learning a new recipe to making music.

Culture Moves Europe Residency Program

📍Pisticci, Basilicata (Italy)

August 1st - August 22nd, 2026
____

ABOUT THE ORGANISATIONS 🪐

⭐️ Lucana Mente Lab

Founded in 2014 in Pisticci, Basilicata, Lucana Mente Lab is an independent cultural association and artistic research space working across comics, illustration, music, publishing and visual arts. The organisation develops projects rooted in Southern Italy’s territories and communities, focusing on independent cultural production and experimental artistic practices.

⭐️ Sputnik Festival

Sputnik Festival is an annual multidisciplinary festival held in Pisticci, Basilicata, at the intersection of independent music, comics, visual arts and live performance. Over the years, the festival has hosted artists, publishers and musicians from across Italy and Europe, creating a cultural platform deeply connected to marginal territories and alternative forms of artistic production.

⭐️ Sputnik Press

Sputnik Press is an independent publishing project focused on author-driven comics, graphic literature and experimental editorial practices. Its publications are distributed nationally and presented at major festivals including Lucca Comics & Games.

THE RESIDENCY 🚀

Lucana Mente Lab, Sputnik Festival and Sputnik Press are pleased to launch an open call for artists interested in taking part in ABIT–AZIONE - Practices of Terrestrial Remaining, an international residency supported by the Goethe-Institut through the Culture Moves Europe programme.

The residency will take place in Pisticci, a small town in Basilicata, Southern Italy, from August 1st to August 22nd, 2026.

ABIT–AZIONE explores the idea of dwelling as an active and transformative practice. Inspired by the concept of restanza theorised by anthropologist Vito Teti, the project reflects on what it means today to remain in a place, inhabit it critically, and build new cultural possibilities starting from territories often considered marginal.

Rather than treating places as passive backgrounds, the residency invites artists to experience territory as living material: landscapes, memories, communities, rituals and local contradictions become part of the creative process itself.

The project also embraces the symbolic relationship between “aliens” and “earthlings”:
the outsider who observes a place with unfamiliar eyes, and the inhabitant who allows themselves to be transformed through encounter. This vision deeply reflects the identity of Sputnik Festival and its long-term research around peripheral territories, science-fiction imaginaries and independent cultural production.

During the residency, participating artists will live and work collectively in the historic centre of Pisticci, developing new site-specific works connected to the territory and contributing to the creation of a collective editorial publication to be released by Sputnik Press and officially presented during Lucca Comics & Games 2026.

ABOUT PISTICCI & BASILICATA 🏜️

Pisticci is a historic hill town located in Basilicata, one of the most rural and visually distinctive regions of Southern Italy. Surrounded by the clay badlands known as the Calanchi, the area combines dramatic landscapes, abandoned architectures, strong local traditions and contemporary cultural experimentation.

The residency accommodation is located directly in the historic centre of Pisticci, within walking distance from the working spaces, local activities and community events.

The territory itself is considered a central part of the residency experience and creative research.

⸻

RESIDENCY STRUCTURE 🏠

The residency is designed as a shared living and working experience.

Yes. The residency includes further collaborations. The residency will culminate with Sputnik Festival, a multidisciplinary comics and independent music festival where resident artists can participate in the program, present their works, and do live painting during concerts. This will create direct exchanges with Italian artists from across the country active in the independent comics scene and with Italian publishing houses.

Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe | The Konrad and Paweł Jarodzki artist-in-residence programme

# data[].attributes.body
The residency programme creates conditions for artistic work at the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe. Its goal is to support artistic processes, cooperation and research in dialogue with the Foundation's history, educational and social activities. We host residents selected by the programme's artistic board for a period of six weeks. During their stay in Krzyżowa, they have an opportunity to focus both on their individual and joint work and on interacting with groups participating in the exchanges of the International Youth Meeting Centre. We examine how, with the help of art, we can engage in dialogue and make intercultural connections. We are rooted in Central and Eastern Europe, Lower Silesia and in the history of Polish-German dialogue. In line with the attitudes of the patrons of the residency, Konrad and Paweł Jarodzki, voices that are heard too little are amplified, ideas that are just germinating and the freedom of artistic exploration is explored.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.NE7FQurg
The Krzyżowa Foundation ensures full accessibility for residents with disabilities, following the Polish Act on Accessibility (2019) and the Foundation’s experience in inclusive practices. All residential and studio spaces are barrier-free: 3 ground-floor rooms feature wide entrances, no thresholds, and ramps. A large parking area includes designated accessible spaces, and in 2026 the Foundation will provide a vehicle adapted for people with mobility impairments. The kitchen and dining areas are fully accessible, with options to accommodate special dietary needs. Residents receive detailed information on building accessibility prior to arrival to plan their stay safely and independently. Trained staff are available to provide assistance as needed, ensuring a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all participants.

Kulturfrische Trahütten | IN BLOOM RESIDENCY

# data[].attributes.body
The residency project IN BLOOM, organised by kulturfrische Trahütten, takes place in the Alpine village of

Trahütten in the Koralpe region. The program focuses on queer art, drag and performance. Five artists from

across Europe will develop their artistic personas, stage identities and costumes, exploring performance as

a form of cultural expression and visibility. The residency is hosted at the queer art space and guesthouse

Absteige zur bärtigen Therese, offering a supportive environment for artistic experimentation and

exchange. Residents will also work in temporarily unused historic farmhouses in the village, activating these spaces as studios and contributing to the sustainable reuse of rural architecture. The project

collaborates with the local queer organisation RosaLila PantherInnen and includes an appearance at the

queer community centre Feel Free in Graz. The residency concludes with an Open Studio Day and a public

presentation of the artistic outcomes.
