Assemble
ASSEMBLE is a new international arts programme exploring the climate emergency at the intersection of involuntary migration, displacement, conflict and ecological decline.
We are looking to host three Fellowships open to Artists, Curators and cultural practitioners with lived experience of involuntary migration or displacement.
These are open to practitioners based in Cyprus, Spain (Basque Country) and Ukraine, seeking to (re)build their curatorial practice and networks across borders.
Applicants must be able to travel internationally to Cyprus, Spain, Ukraine, Morocco and the United Kingdom.
Over 12-months, each Fellow will produce a new curatorial project responding to the climate emergency with the option to consider how it intersects with conflict, displacement and ecological decline.
The Fellows will also engage in an international programme of activities offering immersive experiences for new knowledge and best practice to be shared, including:
- Three curatorial labs taking place in Cyprus, Spain and a hybrid lab from Ukraine;
- One group residency in the UK;
- An international conference in Morocco;
- A digital exhibition promoting the three curatorial projects.
Funded by the European Union, ASSEMBLE brings together a dynamic partnership committed to fair and equitable rights for artists impacted by displacement. Led by D6:EU (Cyprus) partners include Congress of Cultural Activists (Ukraine), Moving Artists (Spain) and the international mobility network, On the Move, D6: Culture in Transit (UK), ARC – Artist at Risk Connection (France) and Larnaka2030 (Cyprus).
Together, we will create vibrant spaces for curiosity, collaboration and critical thought. While short-term initiatives and emergency responses are important, ASSEMBLE asks what is required long-term for Artists, Curators and cultural practitioners with lived experience of involuntary migration or displacement. The programme embeds a shared vision around cultural rights, mobility-justice and freedom of expression.
