The Mistra Environmental Communication team at the Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism (ICSJ) at Charles University (CU - Univerzita Karlova) are excited to facilitate one artist-in-residence (AiR) in Prague from 1 August – 30 September 2022.
The AiR@CU offers the opportunity to investigate and explore the environment and sustainability through immersion in the Mistra Environmental Communication research that is ongoing at ICSJ. In intersecting academia with their practice, the hope is that the selected artist will materialise unconventional perspectives that enrich contemporary academic discourse on environmental issues. By awarding a compelling grant, access to facilities, affiliation with an academic host, and organisational support from the Mistra-EC team at ICSJ the intention is to offer a fulfilling opportunity to examine how the environment and sustainability is understood and expressed in a politicised, polarised and complex world.
The artist selected for the AiR@CU is supported with:
- Dialogical exchange with an academic host.
- Organisational support to showcase their produced work twice.
- Immersion in the Mistra Environmental Communication research and community.
- Access to library and IT network facilities.
- A 34,000 SEK (~3300 EUR) grant of which:
- 27,000 SEK (~2600 EUR) are earmarked to cover accommodation and living costs in Prague for 2 months.
- 3000 SEK (~300 EUR) are earmarked to cover material costs,
- 4000 SEK (~390 EUR) are earmarked to cover travel costs.
