IMMUNITY～COMMUNITY

Idensitat + Consorci de Museus de la Comunitat Valenciana

Deadline: April 4, 2022

IDENSITAT, together with the Consorci de Museus de la Comunitat Valenciana opens the third edition of the Transversal Aesthetics programme, which, under the title IMMUNITY – COMMUNITY, will promote three projects that combine research and production in the cities of València, Alicante and Castelló, connecting artistic practices to social spaces within specific contexts of each of the three cities, which include two temporary residencies subject to a public open call, and a third by invitation. The programme will take place during 2022 and 2023, and is part of the European project Who Cares?

- Onsite residency: The call is aimed at artists  interested in developing an artistic production - experimentation project  on the specific theme proposed. The residency will take place between October and November 2022 at Centro Cultural Las Cigarreras in Alicante.

- Hybrid residency: Artistic mediation residency, based upon the proposed theme. The projects can take place until March 2023, combining onsite and online phases, and distributing the onsite work according to the needs of the project and its members. The open call demands a project that straddles mediation and research, creating a dialogue between the concepts of "Community – Immunity" from a contemporary point of view, through relational and thought-based methodologies. For the onsite phases, the Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània in Valencia will provide spaces.

Projects will be selected by a jury comprising José Luis Pérez Pont, managing director of the Consorci de Museus de la Comunitat Valenciana, Nerea de Diego, Co-director of Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Huarte, Carolina Fuertes Mascarell, coordinator of the Centre Cultural Las Cigarreras in Alicante, Clàudia Segura, curator at MACBA, Ramon Parramon and Roser Colomar, members of the Idensitat team.
