Call for residency hosts 2025-2026 — Culture and Creativity

Overview
Culture and Creativity has issued a call for residency hosts for the 2025–2026 cycle, seeking institutions and organizations to host creative practitioners working across translation, music, dance, and visual art. This initiative underscores the vital role of translation as a creative practice that bridges languages, cultures, and disciplines, and reflects a broader commitment to fostering international artistic dialogue. The residency program is designed to provide practitioners with dedicated time, space, and resources to develop their work within a supportive host environment. While specific benefits vary by host, residencies typically offer accommodation, studio or workspace, and access to local networks. Hosts are expected to facilitate meaningful exchange, whether through mentorship, public programming, or collaborative projects, enriching both the resident and the host community. The curatorial vision emphasizes process over product, encouraging experimentation and risk-taking. By supporting translation alongside other disciplines, the program acknowledges the porous boundaries between creative fields and the importance of linguistic and cultural mediation in contemporary art. Hosts are selected for their capacity to provide a nurturing and intellectually rigorous context that aligns with the resident's practice.
