Open Call for Artists: Agitu Ideo Gudeta FELLOWSHIP

Open Call for Artists: Agitu Ideo Gudeta FELLOWSHIP a project by Centrale Fies and Razzismo Brutta Storia in collaboration with BHMF for LIVE WORKS - Free school of Performance

Deadline 30 March 2023

The Agitu Ideo Gudeta Fellowship is the result of the joint effort of Centrale Fies and Razzismo Brutta Storia and the collaboration with BHMF. The aim of the scholarship is to create useful tools to fight against ethno-racial discrimination in the world of performative artistic research, facilitating the access of racialized subjects.

The call is open to a wide range of performative actions, also including sound and new media arts, text-based performances, lecture performances, multimedia storytelling, choreographic practices, relational and workshop-based projects, and other projects questioning the idea of performativity beyond the body. 

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 The open call only accepts unpublished or long-term projects that need to be developed and/or concluded, for which participation would represent an evolution of the project or it’s final chapter
