The artist-in-residence at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences is performed on location in Uppsala from the 1 September until 31 October. All AiRs invite artists to collaborate in a dialogical fashion with academics and to become immersed in the Mistra Environmental Communication research programme, to develop creative work that situates environmental communication in art and explores academic research through an artistic lens. The dialogues with researchers serve as inspiration for artwork(s), and enriches the perspectives of the researchers. The goal of the AiRs is to foster collaboration between participants and to unlock new perspectives on environmental communication.
The Call is open to artists in any discipline, from visual, to sculptural, to digital media, and beyond. Applications can be submitted until 31 May. More information can be found here.
The residency is part of a larger residency program and is facilitated by the Mistra Environmental Communication Media & Art team at the Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism (ICSJ) at Charles University, with additional support from the NGO Sqridge.
