Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation and UNIDEE Residency Programs are pleased to announce an open call for a two-month research residency at Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto in Biella (Italy) during the autumn of 2023.

The Research Residency is a residency created to support the practice of emerging artists with a situated and embedded practice.

Throughout their stay at Cittadellarte, the resident is guided along a process based on the investigation of specific aspects linked to a responsible social transformation, through debates and meetings with curators, artists and civil society practitioners, studio visits by experts, and visits to exhibitions and places relevant to the themes linked to their research.
In terms of production, the residency is not outcome-based and the aim is to support the research of the selected applicant who may present it during a public open studio organised for the group of residents.

Furthermore, during their stay at Cittadellarte, the selected artist will have the opportunity to engage and share their research time with other artists in residency.
