Open Call: Virtual360 Konnect – Emerging Arts Leaders Residency Series
5 September, 2020
The concept of cultural exchange in the time of physical distancing and restricted mobility has emerged as the key question and challenge in 2020. In response, the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) and the ASEAN Foundation are launching a new and innovative format to adapt to the current environment and rallying their communities to co-create online.
ASEF through its arts website culture360.ASEF.org with the support of KONNECT ASEAN, an ASEAN Foundation arts and cultural programme funded by the Republic of Korea, are pleased to invite proposals for a new virtual residency series and online capacity building to support cultural exchange amongst emerging artists and cultural practitioners across all arts disciplines from the ASEAN region and the Republic of Korea. Each residency will pair 2 participants (one ASEAN national and one Republic of Korea national) who will collaborate online for a period of one month. The result will be one jointly written article and one podcast or video interview published on culture360.ASEF.org.
Format
- Each pair will collaborate online over a period of one month
- The theme of the collaboration is international cultural cooperation and cultural exchange in the COVID-19 era
- Within this broad theme, each pair is free to focus on one or more arts disciplines e.g. visual arts, performing arts, music, film, interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral, etc.
- Each pair will define and propose the topic of their residency
- Each pair will write a joint article that will be published on culture360.ASEF.org (maximum 2,000 words)
- Each pair will take part in a podcast or video interview about the collaborative process.
