3-month fellowship at scuola piccola zattere in venice
The international fellowship is an opportunity to focus on one’s research and ongoing projects, while coming into contact with the artistic community of the Scuola, and experiencing the rich cultural offerings of the city of Venice, during the months of the 2025 Architecture Biennale. The program allows participants to both receive and offer mentorship and education, work with other practitioners from different cultural contexts and disciplines and contribute to the Scuola’s public programs. Fellows are invited to share their research through different formats, such as by way of example, workshops, presentations, seminars, screenings or performance events. This will help initiate a circular, iterative approach to the research process, opening new areas of exploration, to the benefit of subsequent phases of study, development, and production.
The thematic areas analyzed within the program and thus constituting a common horizon for reflection and production for the first season of research, titled One Year Score, will be:
- the forms of aggregation, conflict, and negotiation inherent in the dynamics of sociality,
- the relationship between space and body, architecture and movement, instruction and performative action,
- the score as a conceptual tool for investigating the dialectical tension between what is prefigured and what is enacted.
These research themes will be at the center of a common reflection across the various disciplines and the different formats of residency, study, and programming, informing a collective research process extended over time.
CALENDAR
The fellowship will run from the beginning of May to the end of July 2025.
