OASis (Open Art Spaces in Synergy)
Cultivamos Cultura is launching three different open calls for residencies within our new Creative Europe project called “OASis”. These calls are aimed at artists and other creators from different areas, national and international, with the aim of supporting creation, research and production projects. Within this project, it is our aim to promote interdisciplinary exchange and encourage local community interaction. We encourage experimentation to nurture new knowledge developed with materials and technologies available at the host institution.
About Cultivamos Cultura:
Over the years Cultivamos Cultura has been fostering artistic residencies which explore the intersections of natural and environmental sciences, art and technology. With variable durations, residents can work on research and/or production of specific artworks. The residency program of Cultivamos Cultura provides shared accommodation and work-spaces on a former family farm in the village of São Luis, Alentejo, Portugal. The venue itself offers non-traditional workspaces, a basic field laboratory for biology related work, exhibition spaces with different characteristics. Residents are encouraged to explore the social and natural environments: the village of São Luis, the surrounding Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina Natural Park, and the Atlantic coast.
Context for OASis residencies:
Cultivamos Cultura is a partnering host institution within the OASis project. OASis – Open Art Spaces in Synergy built a network of free and open creative spaces throughout Europe, with the goal of reducing the barriers to entry that exist in the art world.
Open Art Spaces (OASis) in Action combines 13 interdisciplinary art venues in 10 countries (Armenia, Belgium, France, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia and Slovenia) that reflect the modern model of the open art center which merge local context with international art exchange.
