Open call for international artists – Reparing the present

CYENS Centre of Excellence (Cyprus) is calling international artists working at the intersection between science, technology and the arts to apply for a 6-month fellowship addressing one of the 21 challenges defined by 12 Regional STARTS Centers and their local networks of experts, business and community leaders.

Repairing the Present was born from the belief that the solutions to the social, economic and environmental issues our world is facing must come from an understanding of the local and regional specificities before they can be translated at a global level. We invite artists to think globally and act locally to repair the present and build the future our world needs.

The fellowships will encourage artists to critique the present, challenge existing practices in different industries, explore beyond current limitations, reimagine sustainable futures, learn from the research field and work closely with experts to bring to the table artistic solutions to issues that affect us all.

Each fellowship will have a budget of 40.000 EUR. Artists can apply to up to 3 different challenges. Artists applying for more than one challenge are only eligible for one fellowship.
