Construction festival V: Reality. OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS
Festival of audiovisual art and new media Construction Festival will take place on June 2018 in Dnipro, Ukraine.
The project offers selected 3 participants from EU countries and 3 participants from Ukraine a residency opportunity for conducting artistic research, creating new works and projects or adapt their existing projects for the local context. All works will be presented at the annual international festival of audiovisual art and new media in urban space Construction.
The festival combines topics of urban planning, social and cultural development, and creative needs of people living in post-industrial and post-soviet cities and appeals to physical and perceived image of the city, discovering a new vision of its peculiarities and raising attention to our commons: space, responsibility, and future.
Dnipro is the fourth biggest city in Ukraine with a million inhabitants and a grand industrial and rocket building past. Because of this industry, Dnipro was a closed city from the end of the 1950s until the end of the 1980s - it means no citizen of a foreign country (even of the socialist ones) was allowed to visit Dnipro. This spirit of "the rocket closed city" still has a huge influence on cultural situation and mentality. The war conflict happening in the east of the country that is 4 hours away from Dnipro definitely added a different meaning to some of the art and music projects. The space industry also had its influence on architecture - that's why there are some awesome examples of retro-futuristic architecture.
Application deadline: April 15, 2018
Confirmation of selected residents: 22nd April 2018
Residency in Dnipro, Ukraine: 6 artists, May 26 - June 4, 2018
