Association for Culture and Education KIBLA (ACE KIBLA) invites artists, researchers and interdisciplinary practitioners to apply for OASis Maribor, 19–27 November 2026. The second OASis residency in Maribor, Slovenia, explores the meeting point between nature, technology and artistic practice.
OASis Maribor is a site-responsive residency exploring augmented, virtual and mixed realities, artificial intelligence, and the cultural and natural heritage of the Maribor region through ecology, energy and the relationship between past and future.
The organisers are looking for international artists, researchers and interdisciplinary practitioners working across analogue and digital media, including audio and visual culture, fine art, performance, literature, theory and community-based practices.
Proposals should be artistically original, research-driven and grounded in the local context, engaging with the city, its people and its social and environmental context. Sound, visual art, interactivity, audience participation and collaborative practices are welcome. Applicants must reside in an EU Member State or in a country eligible under the Creative Europe programme.
Support includes: 1,300 EUR gross artist fee, up to 300 EUR travel support, accommodation, access to studio and workspaces, curatorial support, and agreed materials and production support.
