About the foundation
Amigdala is a transfeminist collective and curatorial platform based in Italy, operating internationally through residencies, public programs, and collaborative research. Founded with a commitment to intersectional feminist and queer methodologies, the collective treats art as a site of political imagination and collective care. Their residency at OvestLab in Modena, 'Who Walks Here,' exemplifies this ethos: it invites artists to engage with urban space, memory, and belonging through a transfeminist lens, prioritizing process, dialogue, and situated knowledge over finished objects. Amigdala's work is less about spectacle and more about the slow, rigorous work of building alternative infrastructures for art-making and community.
Funding opportunities
2 listedApplication guidance
Applicants should approach Amigdala with a clear articulation of how their practice engages with transfeminist, queer, or decolonial frameworks, and a willingness to work collectively. Proposals that demonstrate attentiveness to local context, process, and ethical collaboration are favored over those focused solely on final outputs. Familiarize yourself with the specific themes of each open call—such as urban space and memory for 'Who Walks Here'—and show how your work would contribute to a shared learning environment. Include a thoughtful letter of intent and documentation of past projects that reflect a commitment to critical engagement and community.
