This is a residency for authors, researchers and art critics who write about contemporary visual art.

For a month, Ljubljana will become your space for research and writing about the role of art institutions in complex socio-political conditions. The result of the residency will be an author's text published on the MGLC Švicarija website.

The organisers will cover accommodation, round-trip tickets, and daily expenses so that you can focus on your work.

The programme is implemented by MGLC Švicarija and the Igor Zabel Association. This is one of thousands of EU opportunities for Ukraine.
