With the support of the European Union’s Creative Europe programme, the European Media Art Platform (EMAP) invites artists, artist duos, collectives, and artistic collaborations working in digital, media, robotic, and bio art to apply for a two-month production residency in 2026.
The EMAP residency programme places a strong emphasis on collaboration. Applicants must therefore apply as a duo or collective, or propose a collaborative project with a collaborator local to the host institution or a partner of their choice.
Subversive, Investigative, and Open Source Practices
2-day training school (18-19 25-26 May 2026).
Hosted by the University of Galway, Ireland.
Applications deadline: 7 April 2026.
This COST funded Training School is calling artists, agents, double agents, shape-shifters, spooks and tricksters – not excluding wizards or magicians – overground, on the ground, or underground. Especially people who quake, tremble with others, are vague or uncertain. Join us for two days in Galway for creative discussion, exploration and imagination.
