KITLV and Framer Framed are pleased to announce the international open call for the 2024 Atelier KITLV-Framer Framed Artist Residency. Applications are currently being accepted online with a submission deadline of September 30, 2023 (for application procedure, see below). The residency period will start from February 2024.

The selected participant(s) will have access to KITLV/Leiden University collections and will engage in dialogue with KITLV researchers and the Framer Framed team to inform and inspire their work. The selected participant(s) will join the network of Framer Framed and will be supported throughout the process to develop and share the project to a wider public through a presentation or/and other discursive programs. Participants are not obliged to settle in the Netherlands during the residency period, but are expected to engage both physically and digitally with the residency resources throughout the year. The KITLV and Framer Framed do not provide an actual living space or studio for the participants, but will offer advice for accommodations during the participant’s stay in the Netherlands.

Accepted participant(s) will receive a €10,000- grant (including VAT) for the entire project. This fee is inclusive of all costs necessary for realizing the project (travel, visa cost, accommodation, project research, material costs, production et al). The application document will be assessed by the residency admissions jury (The Atelier KITLV-Framer Framed Artist in Residence program team) – at the end of which one individual/team will be selected. The selection committee will assess the applications based on the quality of the proposal and its relevance to the aims of the residency.

The results of the open call will be announced by the end of November 2023 through KITLV and the Framer Framed website. Unfortunately, due to the large number of applications, we are unable to provide feedback on unsuccessful applications.
