S+T+ARTS Buen-TEK opens a call for artists to support 10 artistic residencies in South America by peering with host institutions (Twins) in Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. The programme calls on artists to develop groundbreaking projects that merge arts, cultures, sciences, cutting-edge and traditional technologies and ancestral knowledge to foster innovation with a strong societal impact.

The 5-month residency will be held between September 2025 and February 2026. Artists are not expected to work full time on their project. However, they will be asked to be present for at least 4 weeks at the host institution.

Artists or representatives of artistic companies, collectives or associations from one of the following eligible countries (nationals or permanent residents): Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Surinam and Uruguay can apply. Teams mixing artists from Europe and from any eligible country can also apply, if at least 50% of the members of the collective are from the eligible countries.

What is offered?
A 20.000,00 EUR grant. This is a lump sum that includes the artist fee (a minimum of 35% of the total amount) and other related costs (e.g.: travel expenses, insurances, research and/or production costs, documentation of the residency). Travel to and from the in-place Host institution and subsistence costs should be also covered within this budget. Accommodation covered for at least 4 weeks of stay at the host institution. Coordination, guidance, and support throughout the residency by the Twin institution and the Liaison mediator. Mentorship, mediation and expert support by the trans-local experts during the residency process.
