The Uniarte residency in Willemstad, Curacao, is open to visual artists, curators, performance artists, cultural agents, critical art writers and researchers. It gives the resident the opportunity to work on their individual practice or work on a collaborative project with local artists and/or community members.
This residency invites the resident to develop new work on site and work on a specific research question that will enhance their individual practice, it is preferred but not obliged to work on topics relating to the (Dutch) Caribbean context or encouraging new experience to its context. With this residency the resident will be asked to have moments of contact with the art scene and the general public by either presenting their work to the local audience, engage in discussions and critic sessions with local artists and visitors, have a tangible outcome like workshop, lecture sessions or exhibition. This will be evaluated each time. Residents will benefit from the local insights of active studio members of UniArte and through studio visits and location or events across the island depending on interest.
