Supporting artivists to create, collaborate, and act

OPEN CALL OVERVIEW

—————
Artivism Alliance: In Motion! is an open call supporting artivists of all ages to develop cross-border projects that combine artistic creation with social impact. It is open to groups with experience in artistic creation for social justice who are committed to collaborative, cross-border work. Selected groups will receive mentoring, access to the broader Artivism Alliance network, and micro-grants to move their ideas from concept to implementation. They are also invited to participate in a residency (Explore our last residency) to deepen connections, strengthen collaboration, and advance their ongoing work. 

Projects supported through this call are expected to foster and promote dialogue between artistic practices and to engage meaningfully with social contexts. Cross-border collaboration will be assessed not only based on geographic diversity, but on the quality of co-creation between team members. 

Since 2023, the Emerging Leaders Artivism Alliance has supported artivists with migration backgrounds to strengthen their leadership, confidence, and strategic practice. Now in its fourth edition, the Alliance has evolved from individual capacity building toward collective movement building. This edition responds directly to that shift – resourcing groups of artivists to collaborate across borders and create together.
