Call for artists based in Africa
Africa > UK - Three residencies in the UK for artists based in Africa.
Africa Beyond aims to keep African culture in a central position within the modern UK landscape, through its website and other media, lively public events, and now through a series of residencies in London in January 2008.
Gasworks International Residency Programme will play host to three visiting artists for three months from Africa who will be supported in developing a project with InIVA, Photographers' Gallery, or the Southbank Centre.
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: 1 October 2007
About the residency
This three-month residency comprises:
- accommodation and living expenses in London
- a private studio at Gasworks
- a materials budget
- a project associated with InIVA, Photographers' Gallery, or Southbank Centre
- an Open Studio and artist's talk at Gasworks
This residency focuses on professional development, artistic exchange and the development of artistic process. The support, networks and creative environments that Gasworks, Africa Beyond, and the partner institutions can offer will provide the artist with the means to research and experiment with new work, taking an important step in an international context.
Each of the three residencies will be attached to a different partner institution and will have a specific aim and focus. Read more about each institution via the links.
