4Cs - From Conflict to Conviviality through Creativity and Culture

Residencies

About the Residencies

The art-based research residencies are aimed at researchers, artists, curators, writers, musicians, and performers working with the specific social, cultural, economic, and political contexts of each partner.

The participants in agreement with the host partner institution will decide on the shape of the final work to be produced during the residencies, which can take the form of a physical object, a series of workshops and lectures, a series of publications, an online or a public art project.

The art-based research residencies will give a valuable contribution to short-term cultural exchanges, as they will permit participants to develop a deeper understanding of their host societies and cultures, while creating opportunities for insights into the cultural background of each participating artist’s own background.

Research Residency - Noor Abuarafeh

For the UK residency, the Royal College of Art has partnered with Delfina Foundation to provide an opportunity for an artist who is interested in working with people in the context of cultural intolerance and those who feel marginalised in London. The aim is to facilitate a close interaction with communities and audiences who are not usually engaged with the existing cultural offer and do not have a voice in it.
