Associazione Demetra, an organisation active for over 18 years in the field of supporting creativity in all its expressive forms and in the creation of innovative formats in the cultural sphere, in collaboration with Indisciplinarte, as part of the C.U.R.A. Centro Umbro di Residenze Artistiche, is promoting the Nutrimenti_habitat creativo 2023 residency call.
The underlying idea of this residency has always been to sow the seeds for daring projects to grow together in the future. From the recent editions of the Nutrimenti residency, ideas have emerged that, developed in synergy with artists, creatives, and professionals from Associazione Demetra, along with partners and supporters, have given life to the ‘Concert from the Balconies’ event, the participatory artistic project ‘Domestic Museum’, and the programme aimed at the younger generation ‘GenZ’.
Therefore, this call is open to artists of any background, preferably with an interdisciplinary inclination, who have already realised or are interested in creating participatory artistic projects and performative and/or installation interventions in unconventional urban settings, with a particular focus on public spaces.
Through this call, up to a maximum of 3 artists without age or geographical restrictions will be selected. They will reside in Terni (Italy) from 4-17 December 2023, and will work both as a team and independently, with the support of local creatives and Associazione Demetra volunteers.
The overarching theme for this year’s gathering is ‘the INVISIBLE’. Starting from this broad theme and its multiple possible interpretations, the selected artists will be invited to explore and experiment in a creative way to impact the urban and human context, to disrupt the normal course of daily life, to create communities, to overcome the alienation that separates us, to take risks, and to sow the seeds for the future.
Associazione Demetra will provide the following for each selected artist:
- Shared housing from 4-17 December 2023.
- A gross contribution of €600.
- A €200 contribution for meals.
- A travel reimbursement of up to €200.
- Logistical and organisational support.
