IDENSITAT and Centro Huarte are calling for applications for two five-week arts project residencies within the social contexts of Huarte and Barcelona, to take place between July and November 2024.
This open call offers applicants the possibility of exploring and developing artistic projects which focus upon the concept of fire as a working theme. The concept of fire here is subject to multiple interpretations, in which the rivers Arga and Besòs contextualise the projects, which manifests fire both as an energetic element, and as a devastating force.
Transversal Aesthetics is a programme for research and experimentation on the intersection between art, mediation and social space. IDENSITAT and Centro Huarte will each offer a residency to an artist or a collective to develop a project within the social contexts of Huarte and Barcelona (based around the rivers of Arga or Besós). The residencies have been conceived as hybrid, combining on-site presence with any off-site work to ensure the completion of the project. The on-site period will last approximately five weeks, to be carried out between July and November 2024, according to the availability of the selected artist or collective and the promoting organisations, depending on the project.
The call is aimed at artists interested in developing an artistic project within the social contexts in which the proposal is set, and on the specific theme proposed. Proficiency in Spanish and/or Basque will be valued positively. In the event that English should be the main language used in the project, translation should be considered as part of the production in those activities that may require translation services.
The selected proposals will each be granted 2,300 EUR in fees and expenses, and up to 1,400 EUR for production. The organisation covers accommodation, and there are travel grants available up to 400 EUR.
