The MMAG Foundation announces an open call for artists to participate in a self-led residency program in Amman from February 13, 2022, through November 13, 2022.

The deadline for applications is January 20, 2022.

The self-led residency program responds to an urgent need to provide artists in Jordan with a safe, private space and communal working environment that nurtures their artistic motivations and fulfills their practical necessities to help sustain an independent art practice. While the residency is mainly self-directed, the residents will be provided with constant support and guidance by the MMAG team.

The program will run for nine months and will provide ten residents with a private studio space, living space, and access to the various labs and studios at the foundation (drawing studio, recording studio, garden, eco-feminist darkroom, lesser amman library, kitchen laboratory). The program will also facilitate an individual research trip abroad for each resident, covering the costs of the flight, visa, and accommodation.

Eligibility criteria

This open call is geared toward independent artists, curators, or researchers based in Jordan and the region, who have already begun to develop a direction in their practice after completing an undergraduate or postgraduate degree or have accumulated an artistic practice outside an educational institution. It is open to individuals or collectives from all creative disciplines and backgrounds.

 

Application: You can only apply by filling in the online form.
