A 2 weeks Residency in Kärnten | Koroška, where 15 artists and activists will collaborate, co-create, live and research together around the question:

How to use creative processes to actively shape and partake in democratic life?

Where: A beautiful castle, Wasserhofen, Austria

When: 1. – 14. of September 2025

Deadline for applications: 18. July at 20:00 CET

This is a project based on the question:

How to use creative processes to actively shape and partake in democratic life?

It interacts with art, community and political discourse. And many other things – it is constantly shifting and growing as a concept.

We envision it in three phases:

1] The first phase is a residency (01.-14.09.2025) – the way it’s understood in artistic contexts. This means that there is a space where we will gather for a period of time (two weeks, in this case), and co-create processes of discourse, experimentation and creation. There will be around 15 people. Throughout those two weeks, a lot can happen while we research our question.

2] During this time we will also organise an event we call Blüte (12.09.2025), in Carinthia | Koroška. Here we will share the processes that went on throughout the residency. This will be entirely co-created throughout the first phase, so we cannot tell what it will look like as of yet.

3] The last phase of the project will be the Fruit (11.01.2026), taking place in Vienna. This is an event where we will harvest the ripened fruits of the creative processes that took place throughout the residency, reflect and share.

Our intention is to edit the research question in a community process and elaborate possible answers to it, in creative ways. We want to connect people and create a platform to share thoughts, ideas and dreams.
