RESEARCH RESIDENCY / RIO (BRAZIL)
Deadline open call : closed
Residency : closed

Wishing to offer a context of reflection allowing artists to confront themselves with other cultural and socio-political issues, Diagonale proposes a research residency at the Brazilian art centre DESPINA.

This support initiative for contemporary art research is intended for professional visual artists residing in Montreal whose research project integrates fibre - in terms of material or concept -. During this residency, the selected artist is welcomed at DESPINA for a period of one month during which he can develop his project. Throughout his stay, he will benefit from the support and expertise of the centre's team, individual meetings with a curator as well as visits to museums, galleries and other emblematic places in Rio. At the end of the residency, the artist will present his research in a public lecture at DESPINA and then at Diagonale.


Despina
Despina is an independent space committed to develop platforms for research, production and exchange in the fields of art and cultural activism. Active since January 2013, it has been established as a non-profit association in 2015. The space – a 400 m² historical building located in the city centre of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – comprises several art studios. Despina runs an international art residency programme alongside a dynamic agenda of exhibitions, workshops, courses, performances, talks, film screenings, among other activities. The projects developed by Despina are based around the following proposals:
– create a lively and supportive environment for the development and exhibition of contemporary art, instigating critical thinking
– facilitate experimentation and innovation in contemporary art practices by stimulating dialogue between artists and across cultures
– support and strengthen connections between art and activism


More about Despina: http://despina.org/

-    A round-trip plane ticket Montreal-Rio (max $1000 CAD)
