Moving Narratives: grant and mentoring for artists
Moving Narratives is a multidisciplinary program for artists who reinterpret historical legacies and explore emancipatory movements.
This is a year of mentoring, workshops, reading groups, public talks and personal meetings with like-minded people worldwide. And work on your project — with a grant of EUR 10,000.
The first Moving Narratives event will be held in the winter of 2025. Set aside 2,5 hours per week for mentoring sessions.
The programme is managed by the Prince Claus Fund and the British Council. This is one of thousands of EU opportunities for Ukraine.
