Residency

Other Edges of the World

Within the framework of an international project supported by the Creative Europe program, we are looking for artists based in Slovakia or Spain who are willing to work in the international context and are interested in working with the topic of center/periphery dichotomy with a new and challenging approach.

 

About the project

SAUNA

Expanding the boundaries of what is commonly perceived as performance MeetFactory A-i-R offers a residency dedicated to SAUNA. In the cold days of late autumn of 2023, we would like to work with artists whose project is going to circulate around the topic of wellness and well-being spotted at places sucha as steam chamber, banya, or natural sauna hut. Exploring the cultural and political background of sweating we are open to artists who treat the sauna as a stage for performance, sight for rituals, or safe space for healing procedures. Feel free to apply with projects that are going to examine the sauna phenomenon critically - as long as you will be willing to practice the sauna yourself and allow others to participate.
