Colonialism and re-writing of borders
Colonialism and gender: intersectional perspectives
Legacies of the violent colonial process to today’s world

What we offer

To some of the selected artists (maximum 3) we will offer a short residency for the production of a new artwork: in this case we will offer a payment of a professional fee, travel costs, food, accommodation, and a budget for the creation of the artwork, which it will be shown in the final exhibition, in autumn 2024
To some of the selected artists (maximum 3) we will offer a fee for the loan of an artwork to be exhibited in the final exhibition
Please note: all the selected artists will be asked to come into contact with our audiences and citizens, through a system of events, educational workshops, video pills: activities that allow us to best share the artistic experience, promoting understanding of the colonial phenomenon by the population
