​​What is the HIVE?

​​Located at and supported by thecamp, the non-profit HIVE collaborative residency is a six-month creative programme for 20 talented individuals from around the world—more than 14 nationalities are represented in the present cohort from disciplines as diverse as AI researchers, Choreographers, and Film Makers, from 22 to 38 years old. The goal of the programme is to re-imagine the future and develop projects which respond to the global challenges our planet/society face today or will face in the near future. These projects may take the form of artistic productions, installations and experiences, or be driven to develop something more start-up oriented, or find life as a non-profit initiative. To-date the HIVE has welcomed 60 residents from around the globe with 12 innovative projects developed as a result. The HIVE is a fully funded programme with all participants’ expenses covered (travel, visas, room and board) and a monthly stipend given.
