Call for grants 2022/2023

The grants are aimed at creators in the relational or participatory field, opening up the possibility of developing research projects using the institutional channels that the centre itself has at its disposal.

The artistic residencies are understood as temporary stays of eleven months at Santa Mònica with a set of accompaniment and support services during the creative process to contribute to the professional development of the artists. The model involves an experience of working in the same space with the aim of fostering exchange between residents and enriching it with a collective dimension.

The aim of activating relational or participatory artistic research projects, aimed at the public, is to generate forms of social return to the public. These results will be disseminated through the various channels of Santa Mònica, specifically those related to the modality in which each specific project is inscribed.

The modalities of the 2022/2023 grants are:

a) Research in participatory mediation (4 grants).

These are grants for research into experimental forms of mediation and the activation of audiences, i.e. research into the creation of alternative forms of reception and participation in artistic and cultural events by audiences.

b) Research in spatial mediation (2 grants)

These are grants for research that rethinks content in terms of the design of exhibition spaces and ephemeral architectural devices, as well as constructions in public space. Projects may also investigate experimental arrangements of audiences.

c) Research in digital mediation (2 grants)

These are grants for research on experimental forms of content mediation through apps, platforms and other digital projects.

d) Research in communicational mediation (2 grants)
