Artists working in all mediums are welcome, with a special emphasis on interdisciplinary practices such as social practice, conceptual art, institutional critique, and other discursive approaches. The three-month residency will run from April 1 – June 30, 2025, in collaboration with RU Guest Curator Jesse Bandler Firestone.
