About
Submit an application for an artist residency/fellowship engaging with materials, systems, or processes and exploring how diasporic experience shapes artistic practice.
Overview
zero material is looking for an artist whose practice engages with materials, systems, or processes—someone curious about working with what already exists and interested in how diasporic experience shapes the way things are made. You might be early in your career or further along; what matters is a genuine engagement with the questions the programme is asking.
