MGLC Švicarija, a creative and residential centre, in collaboration with the Igor Zabel Association for Culture and Theory, both based in Ljubljana, Slovenia, invites art critics and cultural journalists to apply for a fully funded, one-month residency in Ljubljana during October 2024.

- 70 years of the Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts (research of the various aspects of the Biennale from its beginning in 1955 to nowadays).
The aim is to host an art historian, art critic or cultural journalist active in writing and publishing reviews and/or other forms of art writing in the international context. Applications are invited from art critics and cultural journalist from international milieu (applicants from Slovenia are not eligible).
The organisers offer:
- Free accommodation in a fully equipped studio apartment at the MGLC Švicarija creative and residential centre.
