About

AWARE (Paris), City of Women (Ljubljana), and Kunsthaus Graz are launching an open call for three research residencies as part of the BRIDGE: Building, Revising, Inclusion – Diaspora and Gender Equality project. These residencies aim to address the underrepresentation of women and non-binary artists in exile or with migratory/diasporic backgrounds within institutional narratives. Researchers can apply for a 3-month residency in Paris (AWARE) or a 1-month residency in Graz (Kunsthaus Graz) or Ljubljana (City of Women). The residencies offer financial support, accommodation, and access to institutional networks and archives to develop original research on the histories and trajectories of these artists.
