The University of Johannesburg’s artists in residence programme is now accepting applications for 2024. The initiative offers a unique opportunity for artists to embark on innovative practice-led research, showcase their work, and contribute to the vibrant artistic community at the institution.
Since inception of the programme two years ago, sixteen artists have been selected to work on a range of projects, including several bio-art projects, music compositions, novellas, documentaries, and theatre productions.
The UJ Artists in Residence Programme welcomes applications from emerging and established artists, from across the globe, but preferably with a link to Africa. Applications for both physical and remote residencies are possible. Only proposals for projects that can be completed within a 12-month period and that fall within the following disciplines will be eligible:
- Visual Arts and Fine Arts.
- Music.
- Theatre.
- Performance and Dance.
- Design.
- Film and Television.
- Literary Arts.
Successful applicants will be offered a 12-month residency with a monthly stipend of R10,000 (~480 EUR), subject to statutory deductions.
