Get matched →Traces–Situated residencies 2026 invites artists and researchers to participate in artistic residencies exploring the notion of trace as a place of transition between presence and absence, and as a tool for reconfiguring the relationship between space and memory. These residencies are framed within the concepts of body, territory, and spatiality. Participants are invited to think of the footprint as a material record and ephemeral gesture capable of expanding ways of inhabiting and signifying the territory.
Artists from all disciplines are welcome, as well as researchers whose work engages with artistic practice as an object of study or as part of their methodology. Special encouragement for LGBTIQ+ and BIPOC individuals, and particularly from communities affected by war, exile, and structural exclusion.
