This residency is for artists working in contemporary visual and interdisciplinary practices, currently based in Finland. The residency is organised as part of an exchange with Ramallah Municipality, HIAP Helsinki International Artist Programme and Sumud.
The residency period is from 15 April to 15 June 2026 at “Mammarat”, Ramallah in Palestine.
Mammarat (“Paths” in English) is an international residency program administered by the Ramallah Municipality and established in 2016. The residency has been suspended for the past two years due to the genocidal war on Gaza and on Palestine as a whole. The programme aims to develop strategic partnerships with residencies that share its social, political, and human values. Finland-based artists wishing to undertake a residency in Ramallah are invited to consult this call.
The programme encourages residents to collaborate with key local actors and researchers, promoting cooperation and coproduction. Mammarat hosts artists working in contemporary visual and interdisciplinary practices, regardless of their chosen medium of expression.
Conditions:
- Travel to and from the artists home
- Artist fee of €2,500
