After the successful Ohrid Residency in April 2024, we have now launched Open Call II for the Euboea Residency in October 2024 with PROSPER:

PROSPER is an international project co-funded by the Creative Europe program of the EU, led by 5 partner organizations: Oyoun (Germany), Peripetija and Interdisciplinary exploration with local communities LOOP (Greece), Eho animato (Serbia), LDA Struga (North Macedonia), and exploring the theme of environmentally challenged regions of the Balkans by inviting artists, designers, researchers, cultural workers and thinkers of all disciplines to participate in an residency.

The periphery selected for this open call is Euboea Island in Greece. It is a site that has been suffering ecologically due to wildfires, and it represents a common type of environmental challenge that we see globally and more frequently than ever before. Participants will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in creative work that is informed by local communities that live and work in this periphery. 

This exchange takes place in the form of a 30 day residency in October with a group of eight international participants, and ends with a collectively curated one-day festival where the participants showcase the work they developed during the residency. The key objective is to inspire participants to find connections between their practice, the fragile environment they are inhabiting, and the people who live there, while ensuring respect for the core values: sustainability, inclusivity, and decolonial thinking.
