Water is Life! All living things need water to survive. Not only does the human body consist of 60 percent water, but this resource is also essential for the production of food, clothing and computers, and for moving our waste stream and keeping the environment and us healthy. And yet, the way in which we approach this resource is not sustainable…Water is a Global Challenge that requires regional solutions. This is because the effects and consequences of water management can vary due to geography, infrastructure, climate and the impact of human activities on the environment.Through this open call we want to kick-start a series of collaborative processes between artists, researchers and communities that generate projects to raise awareness and/or offer concrete solutions for regional water challenges in Europe.
Discover all the regional challenges
GLUON and LUCA School of Arts in partnership with a creative ecosystem of local companies, research institutions, governmental agencies,… launches two thematic open calls. The aim of the residencies is for YOU to engage in a collaborative process of art and innovation. A selection of the residency results will be shown in Bozar – Centre for Fine Arts (Brussels) as STARTS partner, during the STARTS4Water exhibition in Fall 2022.
Apply by Thursday Sept 9th, 2021 if you are an artist that wants to contribute to the sustainable management of water through experimental use and/or critical reflection on digital technologies.
