FAIL PROUDLY - Artistic call-out for residency Isla de Crear

Isla de Crear is a creative centre, combining a range of disciplines, to explore creating
and crafting in a new method, away from commercial constraints or industry
guidelines, based on the principles of the Fantasism manifesto.

For our new call-out, we are looking for artists, craftspeople, thinkers and creatives
from all different fields to explore the theme:

FAIL PROUDLY

We are purposefully keeping the theme as broad as possible, and encourage you to
think as tangentially as possible. We are not looking for the same ol’ works, but
instead want to encourage all our visiting creatives to challenge themselves into
doing new things and exploring new forms.
