Call for entries
Residency at ZK/U Berlin
In the context of its art and research residency programme, ZK/U offers a ‘living & working’ space for artists, scholars and practitioners involved in exploring the idea and reality of “the cityâ€. The programme is open to contemporary artistic positions that are conceptual, interventionist and contextual.
Selected projects are often informed by theoretical and practice-based critiques within the fields of urban research, geography, anthropology, urbanism, architecture and the humanities. With collaborative practices and peer-to-peer learning at its core, the residency is about exchanging with and learning from other artists and practitioners. It is a space for urban experimentation where fellows connect through common themes and interests.
Residents are encouraged to involve themselves with ZK/U’s programme and to propose their own formats.
Within the frame of this Open Call, ZK/U invites applications around it’s current discourses of the conceptual framework and additionally encourages investigations into the following themes:
• alternative practices of knowledge production, mediation and new formats of cross-sectoral conversations
• inclusive modes of engagement in democratic decision making processes and grassroot movements
• connecting global communities through strategies of local non-monetary economies and digital governance
• prototyping digital and spatial infrastructure for a future based on the common good
