Descripción del Premio
Resolución: 30 de agosto.
Date for residency project: 10 of November - 23 of December 2015.
OPEN CALL
The «Making Neighbourhood» project is a collaborative reflection on the ways of inhabiting and being in a city. It is an ongoing dialogue with, and an exploration of, neighbourhood philosophy, understood as a privileged and necessary space, lived and created through peer interaction.
Jiwar invites artists from all disciplines (visual and media arts, performance arts, writing, photography, architecture, etc.) and research areas (anthropology, sociology, urban studies, etc.) to take part in the third edition of Making Neighbourhood. Placing an emphasis on the potential participatory creative processes, our goal will be to explore neighbourhood relations.
Curated by Thomas Strickland and Mireia Estrada, the third edition of Making neighbourhood focuses on the varied conceptions and lived experiences of HOME.
THE PROJECT
The concept of home brings up multiple and competing myths, experiences and feelings. Inclusion and exclusion, safety and fear, national and foreigner, are just a few of the ways home functions as a social place and geopolitical concept. Home, is at the same time material and transitory, moving across national boundaries, cultural formations and social processes. Home is a deeply established presence, yet the migration of people and ideas affects and reforms this powerful concept, revealing that there is no simple definition of home.
Requirements:
The third edition of the Making Neighbourhood (Home) residency is open to artists and researchers of legal age interested in contributing, through creative research projects, to an in-depth reflection on Home. This edition will be an important contribution to understandings of neighbourhood as a necessary and positive value in the dynamics of the city.
Value will be placed on submissions that emphasize:
- Experience in creative research within communities (participative process)
- An interest in working collaboratively (group work)
- Ability to work in both English and Spanish (or the language of a group the resident proposes to work with)
Proposals should address one or more of HOME's three themes listed below:
Geopolitical/Geopolític/Geopolítico/جيوسياسي is concerned with home in the midst of conflict, forced migration, and/or internal displacment. Projects might address the loss or destruction of home, home as a place of protection or fear, or the forced eviction from, or forced containment within, home or homeland.
Social/Social/Social/ إجتماعي wonders about experiences of home. Projects might focus on the temporality of home; how ideas and practices of home are translated from place to place, nation to nation; how home is shared; no home (evictions); home as a city, a country, or a network of friends.
Symbolic/Simbòlic/Simbólico/رمزي is interested in the feelings and myths inspired by home. Projects might consider the emotional attachment to home, connection to one's place of birth, or the ways in which home, in form or function, permeates beliefs and ideology.
