The kuš! Comics Residency is open for applications from February - December 2023! Organised in collaboration with ISSP, kuš! will continue to host comic artists in their residency apartment in the centre of Riga. This is a wonderful opportunity for artists to focus on their personal projects in an inspiring environment away from home. In addition, ISSP is hosting photographers, which creates extra opportunities for interdisciplinary interaction between the residency participants.
One selected artist from a Nordic country will get to stay free of charge and receive a stipend and travel costs covered by Nordic Culture Point.
Residencies last one or two months and the organisers provide:
- A private room in a comfortable apartment in the centre of Riga.
- A part-time staff member to provide local support.
- Individually kuš! can agree with the residents to set up an exhibition, a public talk, or a workshop to meet with the local art scene.
- Promotion of your project on social media accounts.
- The possibility to use the library and extra equipment at the kuš! office.
