Are you an artist passionate about exploring the heritage that reminded us of challenging times in the 20th century in Eastern Europe, Eastern Partnership countries, and Central Asia? If so, Floating EKA invites you to be part of their ‘I Inherit What You Lost’ artistic laboratory.
Floating EKA extend a warm invitation to artists aged 18 and above, originating from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia to apply. (For citizens of Russia and Belarus, please ensure you have a Schengen visa/residence permit in the EU and can travel to Poland.)
Within this project, participants will uncover the hidden gems of ‘dissonant heritage’ within their cities, offering you, the artists, a platform to craft meaningful and impactful artworks.
At the core of the initiative lies a three-day Artistic Laboratory in Szczecin, Poland, set for the end of March 2024. This will bring together activists, researchers, opinion leaders, and 10-12 artists from Eastern Partnership countries and Central Asia, who will be selected through an open call.
Throughout the Virtual Lab, artists will collaborate closely with project curators to refine and develop their artistic concepts, preparing them for execution and presentation at the exhibition in Szczecin upon arrival.
Selected artists will receive support for their travel expenses to Szczecin (Poland), as well as accommodation and meal provisions throughout the three-day artistic laboratory. Floating EKA are also offering micro-funding of up to 100 EUR to each artist to support production costs.
