As part of the Rawabet project, CNCM VOCE is launching a call for residencies specifically open to artists from the Arab world who have emigrated to Europe since 2015. The residency is open to musicians, composers, artists and companies with an original musical project at any stage of its creation. The residency will take place at VOCE’s facilities in Pigna (Corsica/France) in the first quarter of 2025 for a period of 7 to 10 days and will culminate in an open performance.

Rawabet is a cultural development, residency and exchange project bringing together several cultural organisations operating in Europe. Led by Ettijahat - Independent Culture (Beirut/Brussels), Rawabet is implemented in partnership with CNCM VOCE, Gezmataz (Genoa, Italy), coculture (Berlin, Germany), Masahat for Arab Culture in Exile (Oslo, Norway) and Transversal Project (Malmo, Sweden).

The artists in residence will rehearse and record a musical composition of at least 45 minutes (any number of tracks) under the guidance of VOCE’s team who will also provide equipment, venue, facilities, and professional support. Candidate artists (solo or groups of two to six members maximum) must have already released at least one album or EP, and must hold a residence permit or dual nationality authorising them to reside in the country where they are established.

Eligible nationalities are: Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen.

CNCM VOCE support includes transport, as well as accommodation and meals for the artistic team.
