Re:Create Europe invites emerging artists and cultural practitioners to engage with questions of resistance, resilience, and the transformation of cultural policies through international residency programmes, an accompanying webinar series and digital mapping.
The first year under the topic ‘Transformation of Cultural Policies’ focuses on the role of artistic and cultural practices in times of transformation, with particular attention to cultural resilience, artistic autonomy, and civic engagement. Four Open Calls for residencies across Europe (August – October 2026) and one Open Call for a participation in a webinar series (September – December 2026) are launched. All selected participants will contribute to a shared and published digital Atlas of Resilience Strategies and become part of the wider Re:Create Europe exchange network.
The residencies are the following:
- Săcel and Bucharest Residency, 1–24 August 2026, ‘Rhythms of Continuity’
- Berlin Residency, 23–30 September 2026, ‘The Art of Resistance and Resilience’
- Valetta Residency, 6–12 October 2026, ‘Malta, the Mediterranean, and Beyond’
- Burgas Residency, 18–31 October 2026, ‘Tide Lines: Art, Freedom and Resilience at the Black Sea’
The Residency and Webinar Series are aimed at:
- emerging artists and cultural practitioners with approximately 1–5 years of professional experience
- practitioners working at the intersection of arts, culture, and activism
- people interested in international exchange and engaging with social, cultural, or civic contexts through their work
Each residency has its own structure of financial support, but they all provide accommodation, travel costs, per diems, and production support.
