About the residency
Collettivo Amigdala is an Italian cultural organization founded in 2011 with a commitment to participatory and site-specific artistic practices. Based in Modena, the collective operates at the intersection of contemporary art, urban studies, and transfeminist thought, often working in peripheral and post-industrial contexts. Their residency program at OvestLab, a former industrial space, exemplifies their ethos of embedding artistic production within local communities and spatial politics. The collective's mission is to foster critical dialogue and social transformation through collaborative art-making, prioritizing process over product and emphasizing the ethical dimensions of engagement.

Artists should approach Collettivo Amigdala with a clear understanding of their transfeminist and participatory framework. Proposals should demonstrate a genuine interest in engaging with local contexts, particularly urban and community dynamics, and articulate how the residency would contribute to both the artist's practice and the host community. Avoid generic project descriptions; instead, highlight specific methodologies for collaboration and reflect on the ethical implications of your work. Familiarity with OvestLab's history and Modena's socio-cultural fabric is advantageous.
