Open Call: Nordic Futures Residency

We invite you to join our upcoming residency program Nordic Futures, where we aim to invite three artists and/or researchers who are passionate about exploring pressing issues connected to the climate crisis through an interconnected social justice lens.

We encourage applications from a diverse group of individuals who share a deep commitment to both social justice and climate change issues. This residency aims to investigate how characteristics such as race, gender identity, class and geographical location intersect with power structures to perpetuate privilege and discrimination within a Nordic context. We hope to support new envisions of knowledge production and methodologies to spotlight the importance of social justice and intersectional environmentalism. Apply now and become an integral part of this collective endeavor towards a more sustainable future!

We seek artists/researches with proposals that: 

• Help to imagine social, cultural, economic, and technological futures through the intersection of climate change, race, class, and gender identity.
• Connect societal health with environmental and planetary health
• Works through collaboration and collective world building with the aim to formulate new methods to bring intersectional environmentalism into focus.

We at Konsthall C will offer all of our contacts both within the activist environmental scene of Sweden, the academic field and our own artist network of local artists in Hökarängen to support the research of participating artists. 

We will ask the residency holder to facilitate collective discussions as the end result of their time spent with us. This could be a workshop or group activity of some kind that would bring together groups that are seldom heard within the context of climate change conversation. 

You will spend four weeks in Stockholm and then return for a joint symposium together with the three other artists/researchers in April, 2024.  

1. Residency - 4 weeks 
2. Work at home - 4 weeks 
3. Joint symposium/festival/workshop weekend - 4 days 

The residency is open to artists and artistic researchers based in the Nordic countries (excluding Sweden) as well as the Baltic region. We encourage emerging as well as established artists to apply. Do you have experience of migration, a minority background, or representing a marginalized perspectivefrom underrepresented groups in climate discussions. Have you personally experienced migration, come from a minority background, or represent an underrepresented perspective in climate discussions? We highly value real-life experience as a knowledge source just as important as academic qualifications.
