Each selected participant receives the time and space to expand their artistic practice with the expert support of our advisers, the curator/resident liaison, the departments of Nature Research and Education & Development, as well as the library and the Jan van Eyck labs – Photography & Audiovisual, Material Matters, Food, Printing & Publishing, and Future Materials. Participants not only follow their individual trajectories but also develop themselves in relation to their peers. During the residency, they share their stories, curiosities, practices, have an opportunity to learn from and support each other, collaborate, and experiment across disciplines. Furthermore, participants can get actively involved in institutional (public) programmes where speculative concepts are tested and the pressing socio-environmental challenges of today are debated.
