Open Letter to the Deputy Ministry of Culture

Following our meeting on October 14, where we discussed the grant program for the visual arts, we would like to express our disappointment in writing. While the focus of our meeting was on “Culture Program II, the work we have already completed, areas needing improvement, and a discussion about the changes your ministry intended to publish, which we believe are very problematic,” the new program was announced just two hours before our meeting, through a unilateral and authoritarian decision on your part, and unfortunately without consultation with the affected parties, at least those in the visual arts sector, while you mentioned that there were in-person consultations with other sectors.

EMAP Selected Artists for 2024

What noise is actually cancelled from the world by noise-cancelling technology? What tactics can we use to trick biased AI hiring bots? How can the reinterpretation of archaic cultural contexts shed new light on our present? These are some of the exciting questions the artists selected for the EMAP 2024 residencies will work on. Other selected artists will create synthetic rainbows, collect biological traces and memories in a pandemic archive or explore topics such as compost as superfood, exhausted landscapes and the link between time and weather.

Data for Care

In the current environment where economic, gender, and health inequalities are intensified by the Covid-19 pandemic, discussions around the provision of care and how to best realise it is a main concern. How can we make sense of community-organised shared care, in contrast to the rhetoric of care used by governments and corporations attempting to brand themselves as “caring”?
