Rupert (Vilnius) and Sonic Acts (Amsterdam) are pleased to announce the open call for the second edition of ALTERLIFE – a joint production and research residency that invites interdisciplinary artists and collectives to develop bold, process-driven work in response to the escalating climate emergency and the conditions it exposes.
This residency welcomes all EU-based artists to submit their proposals. Individual artists or duos are encouraged to take a multidisciplinary approach, particularly practices which incorporate sound and video.
The Programm offers:
Residencies: A combined 3-month residency, with fully-funded stays at Rupert (April–May 2026) and Sonic Acts (Nov 2026), including accommodation and workspace.
Stipend & travel: €3,800 total for the combined residency, and up to €400 travel support for each location.
Production budget and support: Funding includes a total of €7,000 for both presentations (€2,000 for Rupert in Vilnius and €5,000 for Sonic Acts in Amsterdam), along with guidance and support for the development and production of a new artwork.
Professional support: Feedback sessions, help with funding applications, and production assistance.
Mentorship: Support from local artists and curators in each city.
Exhibition: Research presentation as part of public programming in Vilnius and Amsterdam (2026). Final work shown at Rupert (2026/2027) and Sonic Acts Biennial (2028).
