About the fellowship
UNFOLD is a nine-month international fellowship inviting artists from Serbia, Portugal, and Greece to reimagine public space as a site of encounter, resistance, and transformation. Through cross-cultural exchange, artistic interventions, and community-based practices, UNFOLD supports bold, process-led experimentation in overlooked spaces.
All artistic forms that challenge where and how art is experienced are welcome. Could be: visual arts, music, performance, theatre, architecture, design, artist talks, cooking, book clubs, graffiti, murals, dance, circus arts, or other experimental practices.
Unfold is looking for 12 artists based in and/or originating from Serbia, Portugal, and Greece.
Participants will:
- Expand their capacity for working with communities and public space
- Experience new cultural and political contexts
- Join a temporary, international artistic community
Selection:
A jury composed of partner organizations will select:
- 4 artists from Serbia: 2 to work in Lisbon and 2 in Athens
- 4 artists from Portugal: 2 to work in Subotica and 2 in Athens
- 4 artists from Greece: 2 to work in Lisbon and 2 in Subotica
