Program Description

We are seeking artistic practitioners whose creative work critically explores global food systems and the communal histories around food. Candidates will demonstrate radical imagination and present evocative research, cultivating sustainable and regenerative approaches to food. For this Fellowship, the Jan van Eyck Academie is teaming up with System Earth Science (SES) at Maastricht University, located in Venlo. The SES focuses on understanding how Earth’s environmental systems support sustainable and healthy food production. The selected candidate will have access to the expertise and facilities of SES in Venlo such as advanced research methodologies, analytical tools, and interdisciplinary knowledge on the interactions between ecosystems, food, and human wellbeing. The Food Lab Fellowship is in the framework of the European cooperation project Institution(ing)s.
