Culture Utopias Art Residency

Sector: Culture and creative industries
Type: Residency
Location: Bucharest (Romania) and Wroclaw (Poland)
Deadline: Finished
Organiser: Other

Culture Utopias is a residency that invites artists from Ukraine, Romania and Poland to reflect on the current challenges of Europe. You will think about the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, rethink the role of culture in times of crisis and try to imagine what a safe space for European cooperation should look like.

You will have two months in Bucharest and Wroclaw and the final event in Ukraine.

The residency is offered jointly by proto produkciia (Ukraine), the Gabriela Tudor Foundation (Romania), and the Wroclaw Institute of Culture (Poland). This is one of thousands of EU opportunities for Ukraine.
