Open Call for fully-funded residencies aimed to help professionals from Ukraine working in the field of contemporary visual arts.
Within the framework of an international project supported by the Creative Europe programme, we would like to invite 12professionals working in the field of contemporary visual arts to spend quality time in conditions that allow them to develop their practice.
The goal of this call is to support art practices that are often the result of a process of research or that lack institutional or commercial support. These residency opportunities should be seen as a space where artists are being provided with favourable conditions (accommodation, studio, and fees) in unstable times. However, there is no requirement to produce new work during the residency. This call is also aimed at helping artists to connect with new audiences and local art scenes.
We see the emergency residencies as a response to the current situation in Ukraine.
This project has been designed to support artistic communities from all over the country as well as those Ukrainian or previously Ukrainian-based practitioners that have had to relocate to other locations due to the Russian invasion.
Ukrainian artists, curators, critics, mediators, educators, researchers, etc. or people of other nationalities based in Ukraine before the 24th of February 2022.

Planta Alta is an artistic and research residency space curated and managed by the cultural association hablarenarte. Located in the city of Madrid, it is a project permeable to independent initiatives, cultural institutions, and artistic agents, both local and foreign ones. Starting from specific working interests, experiences, and possibilities, Planta Alta proposes a transdisciplinary program that goes beyond artistic practice, building relations, and affective networks.
New Institutionalism hablarenarte understands itself as an in/inter/dependent cultural platform, inserted in a broader ecosystem in which small, medium and large-scale agents operate, and where an open, careful, permeable, recursive and redistributive institutionality is at play. In the face of the genealogies of neoliberalism and its vision of society as a hierarchical knot of contracts, hablarenarte seeks to rethink the role of (cultural)institutions in society, practicing feminist and associative frameworks and promoting equalitarian social relations.
Art and education hablarenarte works on the intersection of art and education as a suitable space for meeting, learning, critisizing and enjoying. In the areas of formal education as well as in non-formal settings, artistic education and cultural mediation make art a common resource through which to reinvent desirable ways of living and world creating.
Taking as a starting point the deep multi-facet crisis surrounding us, hablarenarte seeks to build through its doing, its projects and residences, alternative modes of interacting based on common support structures and sustainable ways of working that put life in the center.
Resisting the dominant productivist and adult-centric paradigm, hablarenarte considers the urgent need to defend inclusive societies capable of relating, listening and empowering varied subjectivities, in particular those of children and old people. Cultural spaces must, in our opinion, be privileged laboratories in which to test forms of intergenerational justice.

Sorry No Rooms Available is an international contemporary art residency that creates conditions for artistic practice embedded in the artistic and cultural environment of Uzhgorod and Transcarpathia. In return, residents commit to the production of a contextual project/exhibition in the city of Uzhhorod or in the surrounding region, as well as their choice of an artist talk, lecture/workshop, etc. Since April 1,2016, it has been operating at the Intourist-Zakarpattya Hotel in Uzhhorod.
As an artistic initiative, the residency encourages participants to put their work in dialogue with the place, theregion’s cultural heritage, and its rich and complex history. Artists will have the opportunity to integrate themselves into the local art scene. Residents should note that Transcarpathia is the westernmost region in Ukraine, and a space where many different nationalities and communities live. The experience of this kind of multinational periphery encourages artists to seek new forms for contemporary art initiatives and practices.

Khashi [Хащі] is interdisciplinary space for music, performative arts and urban ecosystems research which emerged in 2015.It is a laboratory of a kind, a dynamic network of practices experimenting withways in which groups can coexist – functions as a point where various counter-dominant social forms overlap: subcultural musical and artistic movements, queer fashion, botany communities, activist groups, contemporary art and construction workers.
Located in the central Kyiv area, it occupies an abandoned street, transforming it to a park with a summer stage, open cinema and public space, designed to absorb the big city pressure. Here, ecosystems are understood not simply as a (dis)harmonious natural system, but rather as an ecology of practices – a network of connections between human initiatives and the environment, interactions between leaves and insects, fresh air and people,- botanists caring for local flora, vibrations from noise concerts and populations of weevils, geological processes and cultural community. The project pursues the objective of inventing alternative, less repressive forms of coexistence.
In the course of the residency, the preference will be given to experimental music, performative art and interdisciplinary projects.
