We are currently accepting applications from local, national & international artists & cultural producers for our yearly residency during Frome Festival in the Somerset warehouse, being summer, 05.07.19 - 14.07.19.

With both residential & non residential opportunities, residents interpret what being human means to them. The opportunity is suitable for practitioners across all arts, performance & cultural industry disciplines.

Beinghuman is interested in innovative, cross discipline work with an inter connected ethos, that examines environmental or humanitarian issues & embeds creative ways of reinterpreting traditional wisdom for the modern world. Work that explores what it means to be human, right here, right now.

The residency incorporates master classes with beinghuman's founder, artist Gaynor O'Flynn. During the residency participants examine not only their creative practice but also their business, ethics & how to create a sustainable model for their work & life.

Each applicant must submit one work in any medium to form part of the being summer exhibition. Applicants also need to submit one idea to lead one afternoon session. It can be a workshop, happening, screening or talk.

At the end of the residency practitioners also co create work for being hungry a unique food & art happening with Sunday Times food editor & award-winning cookery writer, Lucas Hollweg.

Previous residents have worked across fine, performance, music, text & interactive art & creative disciplines.

The Open Call is curated by beinghuman's founder, artist Gaynor O’Flynn.
