SomoS’ mission is to create an international open framework for innovative arts, exhibitions, education and creative cooperation. SomoS closely works with artists, organizers, and curators to realize their projects. Agility, urgency, flexibility, and high frequency are inherent features of SomoS' vision and practice.

SomoS’ Artist in Residence Program offers cultivated, supportive, and stimulating surroundings to international visiting artists, curators and researchers wishing to realize a specific project in Berlin. The residency is focused on production, experience, critical discourse, networking, and local participation. 

Participants will become part of a thriving artistic community with an active exhibition and event program during their stay at SomoS, and will easily and swiftly become well-acquainted with the creative, networked city that is Berlin.

Residents will meet regularly with SomoS curators to discuss and review their progress towards completing their project, and will benefit from peer-to-peer feedback.

Deadline: applicants will be reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis
