Deadline: 25 August 2019
Call for entries
MIRA FORUM Gallery and Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation propose an artistic residence for three months in Porto. The two entities consider contemporary creation a groundwork for the plural development of citizenship. MIRA FORUM is a gallery basically related to photography, founded in 2013 by Manuela Matos Monteiro and João Lafuente. Hundreds of artists have presented their work at around 80 exhibitions, 55 talks, 53 book launches, 43 concerts, 3 travel talks, 18 workshops, 30 photo walks, 7 international photography contests and dozens of art residencies.

The projects are developed through the provision of creation, research and residential space.
