Katarzyna Kozyra Foundation (Poland) and the partners are pleased to invite female-identifying artists at the start of their careers to participate in an open call for Secondary Archive – an online archive of Central and Eastern European women artists.
The platform serves as an international source of information about female art from this region. It does so by collecting personal (artistic) statements from three generations of women born post-WWII and till late ‘90s/early 2000’s.
The open call is organised for emerging and early-career female artists to present their voices and perspectives. Female artists of all visual arts disciplines from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia or Albania, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Kosovo, Poland, Serbia and Slovakia, who were born after 31 December 1987 can participate.
Selected candidates will be invited to write an artist’s statement in cooperation with the project curators. The result of this work will be published on the Archive’s website.
The jury will select one artist from each country (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia) whose vision and art practice will be encouraged with a cash grant of 500 EUR. As for Visegrád Four and the previous three Balkan Partners (Albania, Kosovo and Serbia), the jury will select one artist whose vision and art practice will be encouraged with a cash grant of 500 EUR.
