“COVID-19
The World After the Pandemic”
Residency programme
Biennale Warszawa invites artists, curators, researchers and activists to participate in the residency programme “COVID-19. The World After the Pandemic”.
A month-long online residency is an opportunity for exchange and collaboration, combining artistic and research work, for ten residents who will work with the Biennale Warszawa team for the duration of the programme. We expect the participants to be ready for the exchange of knowledge and experiences concerning artistic and socio-political context of their work and research, as well as contribution to the discussion on alternative economic, social, political, ecologic, educational and cultural models which could be introduced after the COVID-19 pandemic. We request that each resident prepares a short written “report” containing ideas or recommendations. The residency is not organised to produce any particular work, but some of the initiated activities – ideas elaborated in the course of the programme – can be continued and developed in the further Biennale Warszawa programming.
Duration of the residency: May 2020 – December 2020 (dates of each month-long residency will be arranged with each resident)
Application deadline: 3 May 2020
The list of residents invited to participate will be published on 8 May 2020
The decision to accept candidates will be based on the assessment of their previous work, as well as a page-long description of their preliminary concept of artistic, activist or research activities which pertain to the topic of the residency.
We would like to encourage particularly applications from artists, curators, researchers, and activists residing in Poland or related to Poland, without a permanent work affiliation (permanent work contract, or other type of permanent employment). We do not set any limitations on art disciplines, research fields or forms of activist work.

Thank you for submitting applications and proposals of concept activities for the residency programme “COVID-19.

Therefore, we decided to increase the number of places in the programme to 15 residences.
