Open Call for Group Residency Program
November
2022 – January 2023
The Center
for a Shared Society at Givat Haviva aims
to build an inclusive, socially cohesive society in Israel by engaging divided
communities in a collective effort to promote a sustainable and prosperous
Israeli democracy based on mutual responsibility, civic equality and a shared
vision for the future. Givat Haviva is a non-profit organization founded in
1949 by the Kibbutz Movement. As a civic organization, Givat Haviva is fully
committed to challenging the ways in which art is presented to the public and
the ways in which it can be developed through work in social contexts.
The Givat
Haviva Collaborative Art Center is opening for the first time a call for a
3-month full-residency group program for local Jewish and Arab artists at the
beginning of their careers.
AIR GHAC aims
to ensure a creative platform for the research and development of artistic
projects. This platform includes workspaces, living quarters, daily encounters
with the educational institutions operating at and around Givat Haviva,
encounters with artistic institutions and active artists in Israel, who, based
on their professional experience, will accompany the young residents in the
realization of their artistic projects during the three months of the program.
AIR GHAC
wishes to welcome a multidisciplinary group of 12 young artists, graduates of
academia and art institutions from all fields of art and design who have
recently completed their studies.
At the end of
the program, the various projects will be presented in a month-and-a-half
exhibition at the GH Givat Haviva Art Gallery, accompanied by events led by the
program participants. The residency program will include a period for the
research and development of a project - a new body of work - in Givat Haviva,
and artistic activities in collaboration with the local communities in its
vicinity, and in collaboration with the network of partners from Israel and
abroad who will take part in the residency process.
