Emerging artists and practitioners working in fields revolving around the performing arts are invited to submit applications with a project in development.
About ArtEvolution
Following the success of the first edition in 2021, the Goethe-Institut Libanon, with the support of the German Federal Foreign Office, is glad to organize the ArtEvolution project for the second consecutive year. ArtEvolution is designed to support artists in their project development process, as they put their projects into practice with the support of a monthly grant.
Aims
At a critical juncture for Lebanon and its cultural scene, ArtEvolution aims to provide a space for the development of an activist, socially committed and at the same time reflective artistic production. It seeks to support collaborative structures within the cultural scene where knowledge can be shared and impulses can be passed on. Additionally the programme strives for transnational cooperation between Lebanese and German cultural actors and institutions in the field of performing arts by creating opportunities for mutual exchange.
Structure:
The eight selected participants, chosen by a jury of five established cultural practitioners from Lebanon, Germany, the MENA region, and a member of the Goethe Institut network, will be announced at the end of May 2022.
ArtEvolution will run from June to November 2022, including a short-term residency at Hammana Artist House from the 6 to 12 June 2022, focusing on collaborative and inclusive working methods. This will be followed by a five-month period reflection supported by a monthly grant, monthly mentoring sessions, and a series of impulse round-tables led by established practitioners to enrich the projects of the participants. In August the participants will be invited on a networking and exchange trip to performance festivals in Germany. In November, the programme will conclude with a public platform in Beirut where the participants will be able to present the work they developed during the ArtEvolution programme.
