The art residency taking place in Bizkaia as well as in Iraqui Kurdistan is supported by Diputación Foral de Bizkaia as well as the centre for artistic production BilbaoArte, in Bilbao and Sulyon, an art and media production initiative located in the old Tobacco Factory of Sulimaniyah. From from April 23 to May 30, 2024 the submission period for the art residencies will be open again.

Moving Artists is a partnership project whose aim is to ensure artistic practice in situations of adversity and reduced mobility. Through collaboration and the residencies programme, we provide artists with the opportunity to create, produce, research and acquire knowledge and socio-political experiences in dialogue with other people and contexts. We are looking to foster critical dialogue and conversation, giving the artists logistical, conceptual and financial support to progress in the conceptualisation and possible production of new works of art. The residencies have a maximum duration of two months, during which accommodation, work spaces and a financial allocation will be provided. Should you have any questions please contact us at hello@movingartists.org and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
