Bauhaus of the Seas Sails Artistic Residencies
The Bauhaus of the Seas Sails project has opened a call for applications for three multidisciplinary artistic residencies, a process implemented by the project’s cultural partner, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (Centro de Arte Moderna). The calls are open until May 14th, 2024.
The ‘A Call to the Sea’ residency programme supports collaborative art and sciences projects and takes place in Vasco da Gama Aquarium, focusing on themes of more-than-human geographies. The project seeks proposals that stimulate critical thinking about zoologic museum collections, delve into collaboration and communication with non-human species, reweave multispecies histories, address more-than-anthropocentric problems, and bring forth the less visible water narratives and intelligence beyond human perception.
The ‘Eating Between Tides’ residency programme supports collaborative art and food projects. The Bauhaus of the Seas Sails is looking for individuals and collectives, preferably from diverse career and disciplinary backgrounds, who are critically exploring and researching new, sustainable, and flexible ways of eating in response to climate change and global pollution, towards a regenerative approach to feeding in urban environments – with a specific focus on the bioregion Mar da Palha (Tagus River) in Lisbon.
Lastly, the ‘Radical Waters – Concrete Matters’ residency programme grants support for collaborative art and science projects. The project is looking for prototype research projects spanning disciplines such as design, textiles, architecture, aquaculture, and more. These projects should foster innovative approaches that blur the lines between marine resources and urban design while promoting ecological awareness and locally grounded creative solutions, also focusing on the bioregion Mar da Palha.
Additional information and application procedures can be found at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
