>> INTERNATIONAL CURATORIAL RESIDENCY 2022 (SLOVENIA)
The Center for Contemporary Arts is publishing an open call for collaboration in the AIR Celeia 2022 program, which will enable the selected curator to carry out an in-depth research of the visual art produced in Slovenia and to prepare a curatorial project that will be realized in the Center for Contemporary Arts in 2023.
The AIR CELEIA program is conceived on the basis of a reciprocal model that enables the residential curator to become acquainted with, get in contact with, exchange experiences with, and get involved in the local artistic community, offering at the same time local artists the possibility of establishing new connections and forms of collaboration.
During two-month residential stay, the selected curator will be expected to prepare a concept for the curatorial project which must include Slovenian artists (dual presentation of Slovenian and foreign artists). The Center for Contemporary Arts will arrange for the curator to connect with the city, to become well acquainted with the local artistic community and will offer all the necessary support in the realization of the curatorial project.
Application deadline: 16 February 2022.

>> CARE IN A WORLD WE SHARE WITH OTHERS/CARING IN A PRECARIOUS WORLD (ITALY)
The call is addressed to activists, artists, researchers, or cultural actors and creatives similarly en-gaged in contemporary efforts and interested in museum collections as sources of inspiration.
Residency in Rome: between September 2022 and the ending of October 2022 + 1 week in January 2023.

The residency will take place in the framework of the European Project Taking Care – Ethnographic and World Cultures Museums as Spaces of Care (takingcareproject.eu), co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
Museums of Ethnography and World Cultures are holding a great number of collections originating from societies whose members today are involved in social, political or ecological struggles. How can they be activated to address the twinned concerns of planetary precarity and the precarity of plural societies? In what ways can they shape more democratic and equitable futures mobilising their collections and (difficult) histories? And how might they help in challenge rising exclu-sionary politics based in anxiety around others?
Within this context, the Museo delle Civiltà is committed to exploring the connections between its ethnographic collections and questions regarding the climate crisis, the Anthropocene and issues related to the afterlives of colonialism.
Application deadline: 20 February 2022.
