In 2026, Kinitiras makes a strong comeback in the field of performing arts residencies in Greece and is teaming up with Chico’s Productions for a week-long creation residency in August, in Athens, Greece.

Where: Athens, Greece

When: 24 – 31/08/2026

Deadline for applications: 30/04/2026

This multidisciplinary residency aims to connect people across the world and across the art forms. Creators are invited to play and explore within the frame that the idea of “Home” inspires.

The residency hosts 10 artists in total, providing each of them with the necessary space and tools to create within the span of a week. Four artists from abroad, a choreographer, a fine artist, a photographer, and a writer, will be staying with Sophia and Nicole at their family house. Six artists who live in Athens Greece, three choreographers and three fine artists will be residents from the comfort of their homes.

Each artist is called to bring their own definition of the word “Home” into their craft, while experiencing first-hand the home of Nicole and Sophia or re-connecting with their own home from a new perspective. Throughout the week, participants will have access to a creative space, as well as the opportunity to receive guidance and engage in meaningful exchanges with professionals from different artistic fields. After 6 days of creation each artist will get a chance to share their work in progress with an audience at Technourgeio, a cultural space in a central deprived neighborhood of Athens.

Open call

This open call has two parts: one addressing artists based in Athens, and one addressing artists from abroad, with 2 positions reserved for candidates from vulnerable countries, specifically Venezuela, Palestine, Ukraine, Russia, Sudan, and Syria. In both open calls, we are looking for artists regardless of age and country, who value dialogue and are open to engaging with fellow residents, contributing to a shared and collaborative atmosphere in a pet-friendly environment.
