Re:Create Europe invites emerging artists and cultural practitioners to engage with questions of resistance, resilience, and the transformation of cultural policies through international residency programmes, an accompanying webinar series and digital mapping.
The first year under the topic Transformation of Cultural Policies focuses on the role of artistic and cultural practices in times of transformation, with particular attention to cultural resilience, artistic autonomy, and civic engagement. Four Open Calls for residencies across Europe and one Open Call for a participation in a webinar series are launched. All selected participants will contribute to a shared and published digital Atlas of Resilience Strategies and become part of the wider Re:Create Europe exchange network.
All opportunities are part of the same overarching Re:Create Europe framework but can be applied for separately. However, participants are encouraged to take part in the entire programme package, combing residency, webinar activities and digital publication.
In addition to the residencies, you can also apply to partake as one of thirty participants in a thematic online webinar series taking place September – December 2026, including 10 sessions à 90 minutes. Under the topic Transformation of Cultural Policies, the webinar programme focuses on cultural policy and institutional frameworks, civil society and civic engagement, artistic practice in challenging contexts, strategies of resistance and resilience.
Selected participants will:
• take part in one of four residency programmes at a host institution
• be invited to participate in a series of thematic online webinars
• develop your artistic or cultural practice in an international context
• connect and exchange with a European network of artists, cultural workers, and institutions
• receive professional support and mentoring
• publish their results and findings in the Atlas of Resilience (WT)
Our Residency and Webinar Series are aimed at:
• emerging artists and cultural practitioners with approximately 1–5 years of professional experience
• practitioners working at the intersection of arts, culture, and activism
• people interested in international exchange and engaging with social, cultural, or civic contexts through their work
