IN EX(ILE) LAB is a project co-funded by the programme Creative Europe of the European Union, coordinated by the atelier des artistes en exil, developed and implemented with Alkantara, Santarcangelo, and Visual Voices.
IN EX(ILE) LAB is a project that will support artists in exile, who have recently relocated and are looking to build a career in their host country, by providing opportunities to create a performance, build a professional network, be artistically advised by established artists based in Europe, and reach new audiences within the European space.
IN EX(ILE) LAB are looking for artists in exile who want to develop a performance. If you are an artist in exile, currently based in Cyprus, France, Italy or Portugal and you have (or would like to develop) an artistic practice that relates to performance then IN EX(ILE) LAB wants to hear from you.
Artists in exile, selected through this open call, will be proposed one of two paths.
PATH 1: you will be traveling in the European Union. This includes:
- A production stipend for the development of a performance – 4000 € per project, to a total 4 artists/project.
- Cross-country artistic residencies for the development of a performance – 1 residency in the country where the artist is based and 1 residency in one of the participating countries – each residency will last 2 weeks and will include: accommodation, a dance/theatre or production studio, travel costs, per diems and an artist fee.
- A yearlong mentorship programme with a well-established artist in the field of performance
- An intensive masterclass programme in Paris, with the artists: Ana Pi, Jeanno Gaussi, Kamilya Jubran, Muna Mussie, Nadia Beugré, Ntando Cele and Rachid Ouramdane – including accommodation, travel costs and per diem.
- Training sessions (workshops and webinars) for professional development - including accommodation, travel costs and per diems (when the activities take place in a city different to that where the artist is based).
- Public work in progress presentations of the performance in creation.
- Professional meetings to introduce programmers and other cultural workers to the performances in creation.
- The promotion of the performance through communication campaigns (press, website portfolio, social media and mailing).
PATH 2 – you won’t need to travel abroad to participate in this path; artists will take part in the project in the country they are currently living in. This includes:
- A production stipend for the development of performances – 4000€ per project, to a total 8 artists/projects – a yearlong mentorship programme with a well-established artist in the field of performance.
- Training sessions (workshops and webinars) for professional development – including accommodation, travel costs and per diems (when the activities take place in a city different to the one where the artist is based).
- Public work in progress presentations of the performance in creation.
- Professional meetings to introduce programmers and other cultural workers to the performances in creation.
- The promotion of the performance through communication campaigns (press, website portfolio, social media and mailing).
Activities take place over the period from May 2023 to July 2024.
