The STARTS4Water fellowships (Oct 2021 — June 2022) will kick-start a series of collaborative processes and generate projects that raise awareness and offer concrete solutions for regional water challenges in Europe. Each residency will address a different region-specific water management challenge and relates to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (especially SDG6 and SDG14). The challenges have been defined with the support of a regional expert network, including digital experts, entrepreneurs, regional leading art and research institutions, specialists in digital transformation, administration and public governance. The STARTS4Water residencies will lead to tangible artworks that develop knowledge and raise awareness of water challenges, or to digital applications & processes that contribute to the local development of sustainable water use and management. The results of the residencies will be shown in Bozar — Centre For Fine Arts (Brussels), during the STARTS4Water exhibition in Fall 2022.
In partnership with LUCA School of Arts and with the support of regional industry & research partners, we are excited to host two great artists for a 6 — month fellowship! Artist Haseeb Ahmed for the fellowship Pharmaceutical Pollution and Anna Ridler for the fellowship Water Capitalism.
