About

Fondazione Pistoletto Cittadellarte and UNIDEE Residency Programs, in collaboration with UniCredit Group, are launching the third edition of the "Ecosystems as Living Communities" open call. This program supports two production residencies for emerging international artists focusing on socially engaged artistic practices and contemporary ecological issues. The selected artists, one Italian and one international artist residing in Europe, will create new artworks that will become part of the UniCredit Art Collection. The residencies, taking place between December 2026 and April 2027, encourage interdisciplinary collaboration and aim to promote positive and regenerative visions for the future by exploring ecosystems as interconnected communities.
