OPEN CALL for residency in December 2023
TRAFO Center for Contemporary Art in Szczecin welcomes applications for TEKHNÉ art residency programme. The call is open to artists who work in the areas of sound art and experimental music.
TEKHNÉ is a sound art project, incorporating experimental music and visual arts, with open events held for artists, students and the local community. The essence of the above is to combine research, experimental, creative, educational and dissemination activities.
TRAFO provides accommodation, meal allowance, work space and a €1000 stipend during a three or four-week residency. The artist will be assisted by a person supporting them with their work and organization of events. During their stay in Szczecin, the artist-in-residence will be required to run workshops for the local community (including students) and prepare a show or hold an event open to the public (such as an exhibition, workshop, lecture or concert).
The project aims to support a more inclusive field, and to use sound and music as a vehicle to this end. TEKHNÉ is initiated by Q-O2 (BE), CTM Festival (DE), Skaņu Mežs (LV), OUT.RA (PT), GMEA (FR), TRAFO (PL), and is co-funded by the European Union. The project is a collaboration with the Academy of Art in Szczecin (PL).
