With the call for applications ‘Multiply Perspectives’, the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia aims to support projects that seek innovative ways of thinking critically about art and culture and about their function in society as part of their thematic focus on Critical Reflection. Funded projects should stimulate opinion-forming, multiple perspectives and critical discussion on the role of art and culture in society. To be eligible for funding projects need a connection with Switzerland.
How can less prominent voices in the arts and culture make themselves heard? How can artists and cultural practitioners render the production of and critical reflection on new artistic formats more visible? And how can socio-political contributions within art and culture enter public discussion?
The call for applications Multiply Perspectives is aimed at artists and cultural practitioners (artists and curators, cultural researchers and cultural critics) who:
- Reflect on art and culture from a specific geographical, economic, social, gender or cultural perspective.
And/or:
- Critically engage with the production of and reflection on new artistic formats.
One-off project contributions of maximum CHF 25,000 (~23,800 EUR) will be awarded. Funding may be used to cover all costs necessary for project implementation (fees, administrative and management costs for project support and overheads, targeted communication measures, etc.). No funding is available for infrastructure, equipment, operating and maintenance costs.
