Call for Artist: Agitu Ideo Gudeta Fellowship

a project of Centrale Fies and Razzismo Brutta Storia in collaboration with BHMF for LIVE WORKS - Free school of Performance 

Deadline March 29, 2024

The Agitu Ideo Gudeta Fellowship was born from the joint effort of Centrale Fies and Racism Ugly History and with the collaboration of BHMF. With the support of the family, we are honored to be able to name this Fellowship to Agitu Ideo Gudeta, a victim of a feminicide that came to interrupt a life of struggle and strength, dedicated to enlightened ecological practice, social justice and respect for others.

The selected project will be awarded: 

● a fellowship of €3,000.00 

● participation in the Kick Off Seminar on July 19-20-21, 2024, during the Live Works Summit 2024 

● a 15-day individual residency at Centrale Fies 

● a collective residency together with all selected projects at Centrale Fies in summer 2025 with performance presentation during the Live Works Summit 2025.

The call is for artists or professionals with a strong bond with Italy (i.e. born and/or raised in Italy, resident in Italy or abroad, with or without Italian citizenship) and who identify themselves in one or more of the following groups can participate in the call:
● racialized subjects
● persons belonging to ethnic minorities
● subjects with a migratory background
The call for applications has no age limit and is open to individuals or groups with only one project. Self-taught artists are encouraged to participate, as well as the artists which have not been involved yet or have recently been involved in the artistic circuits or have not been granted a formal artistic education.
The open call only accepts unpublished or long-term projects that need to be developed and/or concluded, for which participation would represent an evolution of the project or it’s final chapter.
