DesignregioKortrijk and Elders collective are joining forces and invite you to apply for Designers in Residence Kortrijk 2023, on the topic of ‘Phenomena’, an inquiry into the nature of reality. During this period the three designers in residence will take inspiration from the fascinating community in Kortrijk, and work in relation to the varied approaches to ‘Phenomena’ of other artists.
You will produce contextual work, investigating the nature of reality. You will take part in inspiring excursions and talks and will be mentored by curators Laure Decock and Lise Van Tendeloo.
The outcome is an experimental project that enables transformation through confrontations between citizens, society, entrepreneurs and education in Kortrijk. The residency consists of research, process, experiment and making. Therefore, the designers are assisted with several design experts.
