Artist-in-Residence Vietnam Network (AiRViNe), in collaboration with Asterisk in Residence Kyoto (*** in Residence Kyoto), is inviting applications for one participant from Southeast Asia to join a residency and research stay hosted in Kyoto, Japan, for one month between September 2026 and March 2027.

A selected participant is expected to:
- organise at least one public programme to showcase their research and activities during their stay.
- participate in the public programmes organised by *** in Residence Kyoto during their stay
- corporate with interviews etc to participate *** in Residence Kyoto’s PR activities.
The programme welcomes applications and nominations from practitioners across three main focus areas:
- Mediators, Coordinators & Facilitators
- Craft & Cultural Heritage Practitioners
- Everyday & Place-Based Practitioners
Eligible applicants must be between 25 and 45 years old.
For the selected participant, the programme will cover:
- International Travel
- Accommodation
- Pre- and Post-programme Coordination
- Network & Exchange Opportunities
