venezia Contemporanea — Hub Feenix Digital Nomads Aug-Dec 2026
Overview
Venezia Contemporanea invites applications for a residency at Hub Feenix, a site embedded in the cultural fabric of Venice. The program spans five months, from August to December 2026, offering sustained time and space for artists working across music and dance. This extended duration allows for deep engagement with the city's sonic and kinesthetic histories, as well as the development of new work outside the pressures of conventional production cycles. The residency is open to practitioners globally, without restriction to career stage or nationality. While the exact terms of support—including stipend, housing, and studio access—are not specified in the available information, the structure implies a commitment to process rather than finished product. Artists should anticipate a self-directed period, with the possibility of public-facing outcomes contingent on the host's evolving programming. Curatorially, the selection likely favors proposals that resonate with Venice's unique position as a crossroads of maritime, architectural, and performative traditions. The jury will seek projects that are critically aware of context, whether engaging with the city's acoustics, its history of embodied performance, or its contemporary tensions. This is not a retreat for isolation, but an invitation to enter into dialogue with a place that has long served as a stage for experimental practice.
