sit-plu: 2026–2027

Situated Creative Practices for the Pluriverse (SIT-PLU) is a Creative Europe Cooperation project tackling socio-ecological challenges through cross-disciplinary research and context-specific artistic interventions. Drawing on the Zapatista concept of the pluriverse—’a world where many worlds fit’—the project embraces diverse ways of knowing and living, foregrounding buen vivir (social well-being), communal interdependence, and the relationships between human and more-than-human entities.

The project includes a programme of residencies (SIT-RES) happening in 2026 and 2027, where artists and creative practitioners selected through the open call will be invited to engage with a specific context (social, geographical, historical) for one year and develop new forms of creative intervention/cultural mediation.

The application can be submitted for the following institutions and contexts:

• Baltan Laboratories (NL) will work with Landpark Assisië in Biezenmortel, a residential environment for approximately 250 people with intellectual disabilities;
• Lungomare (IT) will engage with the riverscapes in Bolzano;
• Idensitat (ES) will explore the theme of sacrifice zones, focusing upon neighbourhoods in the metropolitan area near the mouth of the Besos river
• ZEMOS98 (ES) will collaborate with the MediNat community, a diverse group of citizens debating the consequences of installing massive renewable energy parks in the north of Spain.
