The modules bring together artists, curators, researchers, and cultural practitioners for interdisciplinary research, knowledge exchange, experimentation, and socially engaged artistic practices. Up to 12 residents will be invited to participate in each module.
Led by writer and translator Haytham el-Wardany, this module takes place 9–13 November 2026 and investigates how language can be re-learned and reconfigured in moments of political danger, social rupture, and violence. Participants will consider how language can resist oppressive structures, create solidarity, and imagine possible futures through texts, sounds, films, poetry, and collective study.
Led by choreographer and interdisciplinary artist Sara Mikolai with guest Jee-Ae Lim, this module takes place 23–27 November 2026. It explores the body as a primary medium of perception and investigates how sensory experience is influenced by historical, social, and political conditions through attention, listening, movement, voice, and South Asian aesthetic concepts.
International and open to participants from all backgrounds working across cultural practice and research. Artists, musicians, performers, curators, storytellers, writers, theorists, designers, activists, and interdisciplinary practitioners from any discipline may apply. Both individuals and collectives may apply; collectives must specify the number of participants and describe the nature of their collaborative practice. Selection is based primarily on the relationship between the applicant's artistic practice, concerns, and research interests and the curatorial framework and themes of the selected module.
