CYCLE UP! Sustainable Residency Programme

CYCLE UP! Sustainable Residency Programme

A new residency programme to develop artistic perspectives on bicycle cultures and communities in five European cities is being launched! The programme will provide opportunities for artists to create interventions that inspire local decision makers and invite communities to imagine bike-friendly, inclusive spaces in our cities between May and September 2024.

We believe that artists should play a role in envisioning future(s) to tackle sustainable urban mobility challenges. The residency programme will provide opportunities and networks for artists, communities and decision makers from different backgrounds and perspectives to come together to re-think, imagine and collaborate.

The programme will be based on the key artistic values of the project - sustainability, learning and sharing, inclusion, connection, impact and change - which are described more in the CYCLE UP! artistic vision. Sustainability is also at the heart of this residency, in terms of production, exhibition, mobility, project management and the networks we will create.

There will be one residency taking place in each respective country (Czechia, Estonia, Germany, Poland, and Slovakia).

Each residency is for a one month stay for one person (except in the case of Berlin which is for two months stay for one person).

The artist-in-residence programme is intended as space for the creative process, and for the realisation of an artistic project.
