The 33rd SIBMAS Conference will take place 2-5 June 2020 in Warsaw, and focus, among other things, on the issue of theatre heritage institutions and the politics of memory – what narratives do we need and for what purpose? It will address also the topic of ecology in the library, archive, and museum simply because few issues are more pressing in today’s world. The organisers are inviting proposals for papers to be given at the conference (max 20 mins presentation time), with grants available for individuals with no other institutional support. Deadline: 29 February 2020.

Each year the Everyday Forms of Resistance programme offers residencies for six visual artists, using the medium of cultural exchange to reflect on the role of artistic practice and mobility in the specific circumstances of Ramallah and Palestine. Artists from Belgium, Finland, and Poland can apply for a three-month residency in Ramallah (June - August 2020). Palestinian artists can apply for three-month residencies in Warsaw (June - August 2020), Antwerp (July - September 2020) or Helsinki (September - November 2020). Deadline: 31 January 2020.
