The Wrocław Institute of Culture invites artists to participate in an international artist residency in Wrocław, Poland (four weeks in September/October 2026) organised as part of the MagiC Carpets platform.
The stay in Wrocław will be an opportunity for in-depth research and artistic work based on dialogue and co-creation with the local Korean community. The organisers are interested in artistic practices that go beyond ready-made forms and focus on the process: attentive listening, building relationships, and searching for meaning together.
The residency is an invitation to work in an urban context—in spaces visited daily by the Korean community—and to reflect on the visibility of minorities, migration, and the memory of place. The Korean community, although still not very visible, is an important part of this urban mosaic. The MagiC Carpets residency in Wrocław aims to create a space for meeting, getting to know each other, and working together artistically, which can contribute to building a more open and inclusive city.
Wrocław Institute of Culture is looking for an artist working with photography who is interested in collecting stories, experiences, and narratives of members of the Korean community and who is open to building relationships and co-creating a new work of art. The residency will culminate in a public presentation of the work in a selected location, developed in collaboration with the curator and the invited community. An integral part of the residency will be meetings with residents and workshops tailored to the nature of the project.
