Artists-In-Residence Programme of the Municipal Gallery bwa in Bydgoszcz is international in character and aimed at artists from Poland and abroad who are willing to take on the subject of Bydgoszcz multiculturalism in experimental and innovative ways. They are interested in the city as a text of culture and are curious about relationships between symbolic and aesthetic functions of the city. Since relationships with the audience are important to the gallery, they are looking for projects with educational potential that allow for contact or even direct action with creators.
This call is for artists, creators, educators and curators from different areas, such as: visual arts, choreography, performance, dance, music, sound art, radio dramas, radio art forms (or radio art), writing, literature, architecture, urban planning, film, interdisciplinary forms.
