Join over 200 artists, arts residency providers and leading cultural mobility experts from around the globe at our next Res Artis conference from 6-9 September 2023, hosted byAcmein partnership withUniversity College London (UCL). Mind the Gap: Designing residencies for everyone, will bring the international artist residency community together in the UK for the very first time, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Res Artis and 50 years of Acme. This year’s event will help chart a future for impactful residency opportunities, with a focus on optimism and practical working solutions for issues facing the sector. Taking place in London with live-streamed sessions, we will explore our post-pandemic and increasingly fragmented world. The event will propose co-creation and collaboration as positive solutions to shared obstacles faced globally by residency providers and the artists they host.
Res Artis and Acme will be launching early-bird registrations on April 20th to give attendees as much notice as possible to organise their travel plans for September. Every aspect of our conference, Mind the Gap: Designing residencies for everyone, is committed to the overarching themes of diversity, access and inclusion. The conference program seeks to dismantle hierarchies and provide fair access for all. As such, we conducted an open-call for speakers and received an overwhelming response. We are currently assessing more than 200 proposals, and shaping the program accordingly. Eschewing keynote presentation in favour of panel discussions, provocations and interactive workshops the conference will explore power and access, diversity, artist voices and partnership working across four days. Stay tuned for more details to come!

Underneath green text reads "Safeguarding Artistic Freedom."] The 9th World Summit is scheduled to take place in Stockholm, Sweden from 3 - 5 May 2023 (Official Opening 2 May), organised with International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies(IFACCA). Currently, the co-hosts plan for the Summit to be held as an in-person programme for delegates from countries worldwide. Artistic and cultural expressions create space for us to reflect on ourselves and our societies; to connect with different perspectives; to understand and learn from each other; to test and contest ideas; and ultimately, to inspire us to imagine new paths to individual, collective, and social development. Artistic freedom ensures that these expressions represent the full diversity and dynamism of our cultural ecosystems and societies, through both creation and participation. Such possibility demands that we safeguard the existence of artistic freedom. However, we can only do this if we first recognise the rights and responsibilities it entails; understand the political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and cultural conditions that enable it; and identify and address threats to its practice and fulfilment. |

Tunis, Tunisia & Online, 9-10 May 2023.'] As part of its multiannual programme co-funded by the European Union, each year On the Move proposes a Cultural Mobility Forum to collectively investigate international artistic and cultural mobility trends. As a unique knowledge platform, the network works together with its members and partners to design thematic panel discussions and contextualise global mobility issues addressed in On the Move’s annual Cultural Mobility Yearbook. The 2023 edition of the Cultural Mobility Forum (9 - 10 May 2023) is an attempt to (re)contextualise the conversation on cross-border artistic mobility and environmental sustainability, unfolding the interdependencies between privileged (Western) Europe and other territories, investigating local practical sustainable solutions (e.g. on time, resources, well-being, local networks management) and listening to a variety of voices from the Global South. |

How do art and cultural work respond to the ongoing transformation processes in Europe and the world? Migration, digitalisation, climate change, war and crisis of resources are challenging everyone of us. How do we deal with our own history, the heritage of abandoned buildings and how do we transform our cultural traditions into the future without loosing our roots and values? The theme of the TEH Conference gives space to reflect, to exchange knowledge and experience and to question our work and behaviour, while celebrating the 40th anniversary of TRANS EUROPE HALLES! |
