The project aims to combat the lack of artistic resources and facilities in Mariwan (Marivan), and hopes to create a space for social art production and education for local and international artists. The artistic encounter is facilitated through hosting exhibitions, talks, workshops, and artistic dialogues as events at the See You in Kurdistan Art Residency.
While we expect our artist in residence to collaborate with the residency on creating the space for artistic encounter, the artist can proceed with their own project, and we will help them in form of providing accommodation and a work studio, facilitating their research progress and help with meeting local artists, translators, guides, local organizations, and etc.
Thank you for your interest in the See You in Kurdistan Art Residency project. We at the See You in Kurdistan project are willing to collaborate with artists who are active in Social Arts and who are ready to participate in forming workshops, artist talks, courses, exhibitions, etc., for/with the locals. We require artists to submit weekly report of their project progress, together with a copy of their final work for the art residency archive and use.
Meanwhile, the artist can proceed with their own project, and we will help them in form of providing accommodation and a work space, facilitating their research progress and help with finding translators, fixers, local organizations, and etc.
As we are an independent organization and we are not being funded by any third party, we charge artists the minimum amount in order to be able to continue this project. The fee is 250-300 euros per month for a private room and a shared working space/studio with basic equipment, breakfast and internet. If you’d need translators or other facilities, we would need the details in order to add the extra charge(s).
