Connect for Creativity announces an open call for established and emerging artists from the following disciplines: Architecture, Visual Art, Performing Arts, Design, Literature, Music/Sound, and Video/Film/New Media with an interest in cross-disciplinary international collaborations.
Led by the British Council, in partnership with ATÖLYE and Abdullah Gül University in Turkey, BIOS in Greece, and Nova Iskra in Serbia, Connect for Creativity will host an Art and Technology Residency which will take place simultaneously in Athens, Belgrade, and Istanbul between 7 October – 17 November 2019. Deadline for applications is 28 July and the application form can be found on the Connect for Creativity website.
The goal of the Connect for Creativity Art and Technology Residency Programme is to bring together artists from Turkey, the UK, Greece and Serbia with a focus on the intercultural collaborative experience. Held simultaneously in Athens, Belgrade, and Istanbul, the residency will host one participant from each of the four participating countries in each city, for a total of 12 participants in the programme. Throughout the immersive six-week programme, participants will also explore how a networked culture can develop cohesion to deal with the uncertainty and change that pervades modern life.
