Theme: Re-Create
What does it mean to be sustainable in art today?
How can we revive what has been forgotten, abandoned, discarded?
Re-Create is an invitation to look beyond the appearance of objects and rediscover their narrative power. It is a poetic and conscious action, capable of questioning our relationship with things, time and the environment.
We are looking for projects aimed to transform reclaimed materials into new possibilities, focusing on creative reuse, memory of objects, art and the environment. Art interventions capable of to engage in a dialogue with the space of The Domes, restoring beauty and meaning to what others choose to let go.
Proposals are expected to be:
- Site-specific, designed for the spaces of The Domes and made from reclaimed materials found locally
- Innovative and authentic, with approaches that range from poetic and provocative to reflective and visionary.
- Rooted in the context, capable of activating a dialogue with the space and those who experience it.
- Process-oriented, open to sharing the creative journey throughout the residency.
