The cultural centre SODAS 2123 and cultural organisation Architektūros fondas invite architects, designers, urban activists and researchers to a funded 2-month-long artist-in-residency programme in Vilnius, Lithuania from 1 August – 31 September 2023.
The residency programme seeks researchers and practitioners who react to (geo)political, ecological and social issues and their impact on spatial relations. The organisers are interested in spatial research and practices that focus on at least one of these directions:
- Imagining the new forms of more than a human coexistence.
- Aiming for systematic and physical design inclusive and responsive to the needs of most vulnerable social groups. Exploring resources, energy, materiality and their innovative (re)use and application.
The programme is open to various applied research formats. Creatives with various backgrounds are welcome to apply. Only applicants from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Estonia and Latvia (as well as the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland) are eligible.
Three applicants will be invited to live and develop their residency projects in cultural centre SODAS 2123.
The residency grant is 1600 EUR per resident (tax inclusive). The residency also covers travel expenses to and from the residency up to 200 EUR.
