View-Self Online Artist Residency

“View-Self” - Exploring Cultural Identity

Nexus Artspace proudly announces an open call for our international online artist residency. We are seeking artists from diverse backgrounds to explore the rich and complex theme of Cultural Identity.

What is Cultural Identity? 

Cultural identity is the fabric that weaves together the sense of belonging and attachment we feel towards our cultural heritage. It is the collective embodiment of beliefs, customs, traditions, language, values, norms, and practices that distinguish one cultural group from another. Shaped by upbringing, socialization, historical context, geography, religion, ethnicity, and personal experiences, cultural identity is a cornerstone of our self-concept and worldview. It influences behavior, interactions, and provides a sense of continuity and belonging. It’s a dynamic force, ever evolving as we traverse through various cultural landscapes and experiences.

The Residency Experience: This virtual residency offers visual artists a unique platform to interpret, experience, and express art within the realm of cultural identity. We encourage participants to engage with the concept as a springboard for their own creative exploration and response.
