The Goethe-Institut, on behalf of the EUNIC (European Union National Institutes for Culture) Cluster Palestine and the European Union, is calling for applications from emerging Palestinian and European artists to participate in an interdisciplinary artistic residency programme.
This residency seeks to foster the collaboration, experimentation, presentation, and performance of new works that engage both local communities within Palestinian heritage sites and international, online audiences.
The residency programme aims to facilitate creative discussions and exchanges among participants through tours, lectures, and seminars. The programme also supports the international collaboration and multilateral alliances, with European artists in creating and evolving innovative artworks.
The residency will culminate in public events at a cultural heritage site, bringing together local and international audiences, in person and virtually. These projects will aim to preserve and enhance Palestinian cultural heritage. The project encourages beneficiaries of the project to carry out a period of residence in another city within the West Bank, Jerusalem, or Gaza.
Participant obligations
- Implementing the selected project proposal (September 2024–January 2025)
- Presenting the project during the closing event of the Art Residencies project (March–June 2025)
- Organising at least two public activities, such as workshops, dialogues, or seminars (January–June 2025)
The call is open to: Individual artists of all disciplines over the age of 18 from Palestine residing in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza, or Diaspora; and European artists.
The residency will offer free studio space, a per diem allowance and production grant for materials and other production costs, mentoring, and logistical support to culminate in an exhibition/public event. The grant amount ranges from 4,000 EUR to 6,500 EUR. Accommodation and per diem costs will be determined later
