Application Deadline: June 7, 2025
Applications are now open for the 2025 S+T+ARTS Afropean Intelligence Residencies Program. S+T+ARTS Afropean Intelligence (#AI) opens a call for artists to support 10 artistic residencies in Nigeria, Egypt, Tunisia, South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The project will support 10 African artists in their creation process, by providing digitals tools and Afro-European transversal expertise; encouraging them to reshape narratives that promote social justice, inclusivity and challenge racial paradigms.
In a context where artificial intelligence occupies an exponential place and will inevitably impact tomorrow’s societies, the project aspires to explore the uses of this technology to address topics that are at the core of Africa’s today’s concerns – either on local or more global approaches.
Eligibility Requirements
- To be an eligible applicant, proposals must be submitted by an individual artist or an artist collective who is a permanent resident or a national of any African country.
- If applying as a collective, members who are not African residents or nationals can take part as long as at least one member who is a resident or a citizen of an African country is actively involved in the residency.
Benefits
- Take part in an 8-Month-Residency Program
- Up to EUR 20 000 budget for artists residencies to cover the artist fee, the production costs, their travel and accommodation during their visit at the Residency Host instititution in Africa, and their travel to the AI Boot Camp in November 2025 in Johannesburg, South-Africa.
- Guidance and support by the Residency Host Institutions in Africa and their twin in Europe.
- Access to technology experts (in particular in the domain of Artificial Intelligence) provided by the Residency Host Institutions to support the development of the project.
