CYCLE UP! | Sustainable Residency Programme
A residency for artists who want to tackle sustainable urban mobility challenges
CYCLEUP! project believes that artists should play a role in envisioning future (s) to tackle sustainable urban mobility challenges. That’s why they are launching the second round of residencies to develop artistic perspectives on bicycle cultures in four European cities between May and June 2025. This is an opportunity for artists to create impactful interventions that inspire local communities and decision makers to reimagine bike-friendly, inclusive urban spaces.
The CYCLE UP! project and the residency programme are jointly organised by the Goethe-Institut (Germany), Czech Centres (Czechia), BoMiasto (Poland), PUNKT (Slovakia) and Tartu 2024 with the City of Tartu (Estonia).
- The project proposals should address the cycling challenges of each city and be in line with the focus of the residency space, exploring and promoting potential for improvement in local bicycle culture and sustainable communities.
- The design and delivery of artistic outcomes, interventions, programmes or events must be guided by local contexts, which is described in more detail for each residency separately.
- If you are chosen for the residency programme, your project idea will be further discussed and developed in cooperation with residency partners, the curatorial board, local community partners and local decision makers.
- The final artwork has to be presented to the local public in two events.
