All Information

The Embodied Making residency invites visual artists to explore the connections between performance, physical materials, images, objects and spaces. The five-week programme combines independent studio work, research, technical experimentation, faculty-led workshops and individual mentorship. Participants develop their artistic projects while interacting with other international creatives in a professional artistic environment. The programme is especially suitable for artists interested in experimental visual practices and interdisciplinary creative development.
