Residency open call for artists based in West Africa

About the Open Call

Our residencies programme supports professional development, cultural exchange, and artistic experimentation. We host up to twenty residencies each year, bringing artists from all over the world to London. All our residencies are self-led, non-prescriptive and process-based; they are about enabling artists to research and develop new work, engage with the city, and build their networks. We provide administrative, pastoral, and curatorial support throughout the residency, but we expect residents to be self-motivated and to lead on the research and production of their own work during their time with us.

What is Offered

Eleven-week, fully funded residency including administrative, pastoral, and curatorial support.
