OCA is delighted to be a collaborator of TBA21-Academy Ocean Fellowship 2022.
In collaboration with The Sámi Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale in 2022, OCA, Aabaakwad, and Artis, the Ocean Fellowship 2022 gathers participants to consider our kinship and duties of care toward the Ocean and its relations in multi-species communities and with diverse lifeforms.
What are our responsibilities toward the Ocean? How can thinking from the Ocean build radically inclusive environments? Indigenous perspectives are brought to the center of their work to define resurgent values, forms, and stories and intertwining knowledges of the past, present, and futures of the Ocean we are all in relation with and dependent upon.
The Ocean Fellowship 2022 program, held from April to June 2022 at @oceanspaceorg, Venice, is looking for four fellows who identify as Indigenous and/or who align themselves with Indigenous issues. Artists, activists, and scientists, and practitioners from all fields are encouraged to apply for the fellowship. Applicants should engage critically with oceanic subjects.
Head to TBA21-Academy for more information & the application form, or go directly to tba21.org/oceanfellows2022
In case of questions, feel free to email oceanfellows@tba21-academy.org
We were fortunate to visit Damla Kilickiran’s studio while she was working on her latest sculpture, Dark Entries, which will soon be exhibited at Lund Konsthall. The group exhibition, Near to the Wild Heart, opens on 21 December 2024 and runs until 16 March 2025.
We are pleased to announce that the guidelines for ISGIES - International Support for Galleries and Independent Exhibition Spaces have been revised and that the scheme will be open for applications for 2025 from December 10.
From January 1st to June 30th this year, Ina Hagen was the artist-in-residence at WIELS Contemporary Art Centre in Brussels. We had the pleasure of speaking with Ina about her time at WIELS and her residency experience. In this interview, she shares her thoughts on the journey, the impact of the residency on her work, and much more.
OCA runs a mailing lists to let interested parties know about our activities, including the artistic programme, grants schemes and international residencies, and publications.
