Cross-Cultural Collaboration

Category:

Eligibility:

At wendy.network we believe in community; we want to start conversations and dialogues. This is why we created this project, Cross-Cultural Collaboration (CCC).

In this collaborative project, our aim is to give two artists at one time the opportunity to create something completely new with someone who is different but somehow similar. This similarity can be on the formal aspects of the artwork, on the conception methods, on the exhibition approach, etc. Our intention is to support artists and create connections and learning opportunities in our shared, safe environment. We will achieve this by preserving and giving a voice to both artists’ perspectives, and at the same time engaging in a global discourse. This might seem like a challenge, but that’s what will drive the interesting results. wendy.network will mediate and help the artists work through the issues and conflicts that might come from virtual and geographically distant interactions. 

For each open call, we ask for one European artist and one African artist that speak the same language to collaborate. On the first open call we are looking for one Portuguese artist and one Mozambique Artist. They will work together for the period of one month and the outcome of this collaboration could be an online exhibition, a presentation, or wherever the collaboration takes the artwork to.
