The French Institute of Jerusalem has partnered with Palestinian and French organisations to design a residency programme that will organise 57 residencies (24 in Palestine and 33 in France).
This second call for applications is now open for three- to six-month residencies in France to be carried out at French cultural institutions and will take place between January and December 2025. Those who applied or took part in the first call can also reapply and take part in this second call.
This programme is aimed at Palestinian artists of all disciplines (visual arts, performing arts, music, writing, and cinema) residing in Jerusalem or the West Bank or originally from Gaza and living abroad, to enable them to maintain a creative activity. In particular, it seeks to promote the diversity of Palestinian artists’ profiles, whether emerging or established, with an emphasis on the diversity of social and geographical contexts. Exhibition curators are also welcome to apply.
The programme includes the following:
- Travel expenses for the laureate (round trip ticket to France and internal transportation in Palestine and France, as well as travel insurance and visa fees)
- A living allowance of 1,000 EUR per month
- Accommodation and workspace provided by the partner during the residency period
- An accessing accompanying expenses and/or production grant for a total amount of 2,500 EUR, which will be managed by the hosting institution, and its use will be decided by mutual agreement with the artist according to the needs they express in relation with their project.
Depending on the partner’s capacity, the artist may be accompanied by a partner and children. The programme does not cover any expenses related to the latter’s mobility and stay.
