The Poorly Project

The Poorly Project (alternatively titled POORLY) is an editorial and curatorial project dedicated to artists, makers and craftspeople contributing to the worlds of sickness, health and well-being. The project invites members of the creative health community to share their stories and creative practices. 

Understanding that sickness remains on the societal side-lines and contemporary conversations on health and well-being are becoming part-time, the exchange of information, experience and wisdom has become evermore valuable.

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.
