OPEN CALL for CTG(R): Zimbabwe -  2018 Artist Residency

The CTG Collective announces our first open call for CTG(R): Zimbabwe, a month-long art residency program taking place in Harare, Zimbabwe during August 2018. The application is open to artists of all ages, working in any medium. A Selection Committee of international CTG Collective members will choose one International and one Zimbabwe-based artist to join the 2018 Residency. The two selected artist will work collaboratively for 4 weeks in Zimbabwe and, if necessary, will be responsible to finish their project in the months immediately following the residency. A two-artist exhibition will be presented at CTG Harare (Catinca Tabacaru gallery) during the 2018-2019 exhibition season.

While in Residence, the artists will benefit from an intense focus on dialogue and production enhanced by the exchange of ideas and the presence of 3 more pairs of artists and numerous CTG Collective members. All artists will receive technical and artistic assistance, as well as local know-how support. The artists live and work at Dzimbanhete Arts & Culture Interactions, an art center located 20-minutes outside of the city center and surrounded by bushland and small villages.
