funding opportunity: self organizations

Self Organizations encourages new and thoughtful ways of working together. For this edition, Mophradat is particularly interested in how a group of arts practitioners organize themselves and work collaboratively. In practical terms, the program provides support to projects that involve a group of arts practitioners coming together to share a practical tool or engage in a collective learning experience that they determine to be useful for the development of their work.

Instead of emphasizing recurring models of collaboration, whether hierarchical or horizontal, Self Organizations invites experimentation on how groups organize themselves starting from having a shared commitment. To enrich the program for the participating groups, Mophradat will offer a series of short seminars around the practical and conceptual aspects related to working together as well as bespoke workshops linked to the content of each participating group.

The overall purpose of the program is to incite productive conversations, encourage the development of bespoke protocols for collaboration, and push for new shared art experiences to take place. You can find a link to some suggested readings on the subject of self-organizing that we have commissioned and come across at the end of this call.
