Mobility For Creativity

Motivated by the desire to cultivate meaningful intercultural dialogue through the visual arts in the Euro-Mediterranean region, and committed to leveraging the capabilities of modern social media outreach for amplified impact, the International Art Colony proudly introduces its second special focus art residency project, specifically designed for active and talented visual artists hailing from the EUROMED region.

This initiative is tailored for artists who are eager to break away from their routine practices and venture into new creative territories. Participants in this program have the opportunity to breathe life into their creative initiatives, explore novel ideas, and engage in collaborative endeavors with like-minded peers.
The residency spans one month, accommodating a maximum of two beneficiaries or mobilized individuals, each based in different countries.

We firmly believe that artistic expression transcends mere aesthetic beauty or creative use of materials. It possesses the power to convey profound thoughts and personal narratives that are meaningful to share with the broader public. This perspective opens up a valuable channel for mutual learning and promotes intercultural dialogue, fostering a deeper understanding of each other through the rich tapestry of diverse artistic narratives.

  • Applicants must be between 30 and 55 years old at the time of application.

  • Selection for this art residency is exclusively merit-based. Selection is made by Art Colony curators.

This art residency aims to foster dialogue between the complementary shores of the Mediterranean. Therefore, the theme of the exhibition is Identity. Visiting artists are expected to create artworks that explore and reflect upon this theme, delving into the rich tapestry of cultural, social, and personal identities that characterize the Mediterranean region.

This residency encourages artists to examine the multifaceted nature of identity, including but not limited to aspects such as:

  • Cultural Heritage: How historical and cultural heritage shapes individual and collective identities.
  • Migration and Displacement: The impact of migration, both historical and contemporary, on the sense of self and community.
  • Social and Political Influences: The role of social and political contexts in defining and redefining identities.
  • Personal Narratives: Personal experiences and stories that contribute to the formation of identity.

Through this residency, artists will contribute to a broader conversation about identity, fostering connections and understanding between diverse Mediterranean cultures. The resulting artworks will be showcased in an exhibition that highlights these dialogues and perspectives, inviting audiences to reflect on their own identities and those of others.
