Babbasawt Sound Lab residency offers a fully funded opportunity for musicians, sound artists, and multidisciplinary artists working with sound, currently residing in Europe. The residency takes place from 6 January to 7 February 2025, in Tunis, Tunisia.
The residency pairs five musicians/sound artists from a Creative Europe country with five Tunisian musicians/sound artists. The selected artists will work together on new collaborative works, while also participating in mentor led workshops on instrument building and experimental music/sound techniques. The final goal is to help participants realise new collaborations, and to present this publicly as a performance, exhibition, or participatory action using a variety of musical instruments, including the ones built during the course of the residency.
The present open call is meant to select the five artists from any Creative Europe country / territory; a separate call will be issued at a later date to select the Tunisian artists.
Each of the five participants selected through this call will receive the following:
- accommodation free of charge at Dar Meso
- a daily allowance
- a travel stipend to be calculated by distance (an additional green top-up is available for slow travel)
- free workshops
- production support
- networking possibilities in Tunis
- public events and final work documentation
Couples, groups, or collectives: each member needs to send in an individual application, indicating if they wish to work together in their project description.
