Matigan Berlin art residency

General Information
Brief description of organization
We started Matigan because we believe art can help. Art is borderless and so are artists. We aspire to give equal opportunity to all artists around the world, regardless of race, gender, location, or religion, to elevate their voice in European society. It sounds simple, but we believe our modern society still has a long way ahead to accomplish equality of all people.
We want to provide a platform for emerging artists all over the world—from the Middle East to America, from Africa to Australia—who are less heard. We aspire to create a multicultural, international society of artists, fostering a space for artists to share their thoughts on political issues and social obstacles in their own land and ideas for improvements. Benefitting from a variety of different points of views and experiences, the artists, the work they create, and the people they will affect will evolve. Our aim is to support emerging artists of all mediums and from all backgrounds.
Artists-in-residence are selected by their proposals submitted by an online open call. Matigan pays special attention to those projects that attempt to make discussion and suggestion about equality in race, sexual orientation, religion, gender, social/political concerns, individuality and its role in all of these, also environmental issues and how to make it better are among our interests plus we also interest in pure art itself, questioning the singularity of the art object by using the reproducible capacity of traditional and/or experimental printmaking techniques, photography, new media and/or design, exploring their mutual interference and hybridizations, as well as those proposals.
