Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity - Visual Arts Thematic - Future Figurations Residency

Genre: Artist Residency
Art field: Digital / Drawing / Photography / Printmaking / Installation / Sculpture / Ceramics
Organisation: Institution
Duration: 5 weeks
Theme: Exploring concepts of embodied futurity

The residence provides

Working condition: Studio
Accommodation: Privat space
Rent/fee: 4,384 CAD per / stay

Location

Banff
Canada

Eligibility conditions

For artists or duos who have completed formal training in visual arts at the post-secondary level, or equivalent experience and recognition from their peers acquired through traditional knowledge and practices.

Additional information

Location setting: urban
Workshop: Yes
Companion possiblity: unknown

Exhibition space: unknown
Exhibition: unknown

Description

Drawing on ideas of speculative futures, science-fiction, myth-making and world-building, artists are invited to research, imagine and create possible selves and possible worlds, exploring concepts of embodied futurity.

In this program, the concept of futurity is considered as an anti-oppressive and restorative force – of hope and possibility. By decolonizing ideas of the body as defined by Eurocentric and heteronormative conditions, new possibilities of selfhood, agency and self-reclamation are considered.

This residency runs concurrently with programs in Indigenous Arts and Literary Arts, exploring related concepts. Cross-disciplinary learning and exchange is encouraged.
