Eligibility:
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. After all, this is the best way to reach altered states of mind by simply using heat. Sweat up

Hello Nature | Open Call for Artists
Deadline for proposals: Sunday 26 September at midnight
OVERVIEW
In the context of the greatest health crisis of our times, increasing scientific evidence highlights the critical importance of accessing our natural environment – of garden plants, gardens and gardening, as a key factor that can benefit our physical, mental, and social wellbeing. Hello Nature is a series of artist-led commissions and workshops that aim to provide Southwark residents with greater opportunities to engage with the natural environment.
The project is being delivered in partnership with The Ballad of Peckham Rye, a not-for-profit contemporary art commissioning organisation, Action For Refugees in Lewisham (AFRIL), an organisation established to support asylum seekers, vulnerable migrants and refugees in south east London and One Tree Hill Allotment Society, a member run community allotment. Hello Nature will enhance the Action For Refugees in Lewisham (AFRIL) allotment that supports families from refugee, asylum-seeking and migrant backgrounds who experience food poverty and are coping in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic, through building cohesive and supportive relationships between residents, allotment members and the AFRIL community.
BRIEF
We are inviting artists to engage with ideas of ecology and sustainable food production, growing and cultivating plants, particularly within an urban environment. We are interested to hear ideas you might have for one-off workshop sessions and/or small-scale artistic interventions that could relate to activities aiming to; share practical skills; engage people through discussion; explore opportunities for co-production; make and/or present new work within this specific context.
Workshop sessions will take place on the AFRIL allotment, which is located at One Tree Hill Allotment (111 Honor Oak Park, SE23 3NP). We anticipate workshop sessions to engage groups of 10-15 participants. It should be assumed that English is not a first language for all participants, so a range of beginners, intermediate and advanced second language. Please note, the site is part of an outdoor environment that offers some sheltered provision. The site has running water, but no electricity. Key beneficiaries will be children (primary age) and adults (age 25 and over).
BUDGET
Each artist will receive a fee of £200 (plus travel expenses and materials).
