Tokyo Biennale

OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS / CURATORS! TOKYO BIENNANE 2027 “SOCIAL DIVE” To dive into Tokyo(the city) and engage deeply with society(people). Deadline: 30 Sep 2026 Country: Japan Art Project Creating Ten Sites for Cross-Border Encounters and Dialogue “Social Dive” is an art project in which artists immerse themselves in various neighborhoods across Tokyo to discover both the unique traditions held by local residents and the new values emerging there. For Tokyo Biennale 2027, we are undertaking the co-creation of spaces for cross-border encounters and dialogue, addressing the theme: “From ‘Me’ to ‘Us’.” To solicit proposals from around the world for this initiative, we are launching the Social Dive Open Call. The designated project sites encompass ten diverse locations that shape the character of Tokyo: a historic temple in the city center, a cutting-edge business district, a traditional neighborhood alley, a rare surviving small-scale wooden building, a bustling train station, and an entertainment venue. These are locations where the Tokyo Biennale has previously engaged in projects. Realizing art projects in such settings inevitably involves navigating various regulations, rules, technical requirements, and budgetary constraints. We invite proposals from artists and curators who are ready to overcome these challenges alongside us and bring these projects to fruition. The theme of Tokyo Biennale 2027: “From ‘Me’ to ‘Us’.” Today, the world is in an age of conflict and division. To avoid repeating the memories of war, violence, and exclusion, we must reexamine the wisdom and cultural resources that have been passed down across generations. Tokyo is a city that carries the memories of neighborhoods dating back to the Edo period. It has twice suffered great loss — through the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Second World War — and each time it was rebuilt through the strength of its citizens. At the same time, Tokyo is an international city where diverse people from around the world gather, and where different languages, memories, beliefs, wounds, and hopes intersect. Kenzaburō Ōe wrote: “I cannot live my life over again. But we can live our lives over again.”* One single “me” may not be able to build the future, or overcome the anxieties and divisions of the world. Yet when “me” encounters others and reconnects relationships, a new consciousness of “us” begins to emerge. It is there that the possibility of living anew can be found. Art projects engage with society as a form of cultural prescription, reconnecting people with people, people with places, and people with memories. When individual creativity and the creativity accumulated within the city resonate across time, a new creativity of “us” is born. Tokyo Biennale 2027 will open up the foundational cultures that lie within Tokyo, passing memories of the past on to the future, and becoming a place of practice for living anew not as “me,” but as “us,” in an age of division. Masato Nakamura General Producer, Tokyo Biennale 2027 Duration of residency The duration of the residency will be determined according to the artist’s preference. Accommodation Accommodation in Tokyo Disciplines, work equipment and assistance Application Guidelines Eligibility： Open to artists, curators, researchers, collectives, and practitioners in related fields active both in Japan and abroad. Applications are accepted for both artwork production by artists and art project proposals by curators. Applications may be submitted by individuals or groups. Groups must designate a single representative. Applicants must be at least 18 years old at the time of application. There are no restrictions regarding nationality, place of residence, or base of operations. Applicants must be able to participate in research, residency-based production, collaboration with relevant parties, and the presentation of outcomes in Tokyo. Eligible Art Projects： We are inviting proposals for art projects or artist-in-residence production plans for the 11 designated locations. Eligible projects are not merely exhibitions of existing works but must be developed through research, residency-based production, and engagement with people in Tokyo. A wide range of formats is accepted, including artwork creation, exhibitions, performances, video works, tours, workshops, participatory projects, research projects, and curatorial projects. Proposed art projects must be capable of being presented or exhibited in some form during the Tokyo Biennale 2027. Each applicant may submit only one project proposal. Relevance to the theme "From 'Me' to 'Us'"： The art project must respond to the Tokyo Biennale 2027 theme, "From 'Me' to 'Us'." It must take individual experiences, memories, bodies, perspectives, and inquiries as its starting point while opening itself up to others, local areas, society, the city, and communities. Rather than stopping at the expression of the individual "Me," the proposal must re-examine the nature of "Us"—including relationships and the public sphere—through dialogue, collaboration, empathy, friction, and coexistence. It must not treat the city of Tokyo merely as a venue for presentation but must engage with the people living there, as well as local history, culture, daily life, and social issues. The proposal must demonstrate originality, social relevance, an experimental spirit, and feasibility.Studio / Workspace About the Project Sites： The art project encompasses eleven sites, ranging from shrines, temples, and halls to business districts, back alleys, old wooden buildings, and entertainment spaces. Shrines, Temples, and Halls (Religious Facilities): ① Toeizan Kaneiji Temple, ② Yushima Seido Removed from the daily hustle and bustle, these sacred spaces have long served as places where people confront their inner selves—their personal reflections and prayers. At the same time, they are spaces where diverse people gather and offer repeated prayers, thereby shaping a sense of "us"—a community or society. In an era of increasing digitalization and individualization, this project seeks to use the power of art to rebuild the "deep connections with others" that are gradually being lost. Through the dialogue between artistic expression and visitors, we aim to gently dissolve the boundaries of the individual self and build a bridge toward a future where we live together. Business Districts: ③ Otemachi/Marunouchi/Yurakucho, ④ Kyobashi Business districts are lined with skyscrapers and defined by schedules that tick by minute-by-minute. While these are places where individuals can maximize their personal capabilities, they can also foster psychological distance between people. To help business professionals break free from a state of "isolated individuality" and regain a sense of belonging as members who shape the city together, this project uses art to create "moments to pause and intersect with others" amidst daily routines, transforming functional urban spaces into stages for warm empathy. Back Alleys: ⑤ Nihonbashi, ⑥ Yaesu Back alleys act like the capillaries of the city. Unlike the main thoroughfares—which serve as the functional "public stage"—these alleys retain a deeply personal atmosphere, imbued with the character of old buildings, outdoor AC units, and residents' potted plants. We seek art projects set in back alleys—spaces that foster human connection through their intimate scale and "hideaway" atmosphere—where chance visitors and long-time locals can cultivate a deep sense of shared empathy. Old Wooden Architecture: ⑦ Kanda These wooden structures stand quietly in the city center, having witnessed repeated earthquakes, wartime destruction, and rapid urban development. Their scarred pillars, soot-stained ceilings, and creaking floorboards are imbued with the lives and stories of the countless individuals who once inhabited them. We seek art projects that reimagine these buildings not merely as "relics of the past," but as "living media" that intersect with the memories of those living today. Station Space: ⑧ UENO Station Since opening in 1883, Ueno Station has served as the “Gateway to Tohoku,” connecting Tokyo with northeastern Japan and witnessing generations of departures and homecomings. The present station building was completed in 1932 following the Great Kanto Earthquake. It is distinguished by its imposing, symmetrical façade and spacious concourse with a high, open atrium. Shinkansen trains, conventional railways, and subway lines intersect across a multilayered spatial structure of ground-level, underground, and elevated spaces, bringing together diverse people, cultures, and memories. New art initiatives are also being developed to transform JR Ueno Station into a “Hub for Cultural Creation.” Entertainment Space: ⑨ Tokyo Dome City Tokyo Dome City is a rarity on the global stage—a massive entertainment complex located right in the heart of the city. It is an energetic district where concerts, sporting events, and attractions allow people to encounter the things they love and experience genuine excitement. We seek art projects that harness the myriad forms of "individual energy" found here and channel them into a collective force—evolving the area into a larger community ("us"). Shopping district: ⑩ Akihabara Electric Town Akihabara Electric Town developed from a postwar market for radio components, evolving over time into a center for home appliances, electronic parts, computers, games, anime, and idol culture. Large and small shops, multi-tenant buildings, narrow alleyways, elevated railway tracks, signs, and advertisements overlap to form a complex and chaotic urban landscape, where highly specialized commerce coexists with diverse communities. Internationally recognized as “AKIBA,” it attracts visitors from Japan and around the world as a global mecca for otaku culture. It is a district with a distinctive urban culture in which the real and virtual worlds of technology, desire and expression intersect. Wholesale District: ⑪ Bakurocho/Higashi-Kanda Bakurocho and Higashi-Kanda—the new hubs for the Tokyo Biennale—are located in the eastern part of central Tokyo, straddling the Nihonbashi district of Chuo Ward and the Kanda district of Chiyoda Ward. During the Edo period, the area flourished as a nexus where inns, commerce, and the flow of people and goods converged, driven by the bustle near Ryogoku Bridge and the traffic along major highways. In the modern era, it solidified its character as a wholesale district, accumulating a rich history of commerce and lifestyle culture. Bakuro Curart inherits this legacy of trade and culture, generating new activities and encouraging visitors to explore the area as art, craft, community, and learning resonate with one another.Fees and support Support Offered： -Round-trip Travel expenses (Up to 300,000JPY including tax based on efficient and reasonable economy class tickets between Tokyo and your country.)

It was founded on the belief that Europe will not be built by treaties alone. It requires something deeper: a sense that our destinies are connected. For over seventy years, the Foundation has championed the vital role of culture and education in fostering a shared European sense of belonging and solidarity. This commitment has given rise to countless programmes, institutes, campaigns, and collaborations, including its contribution to shaping and implementing the ERASMUS student mobility scheme. The Foundation’s capacity to adapt and innovate has uniquely positioned it to respond to, and often anticipate, major transitions in Europe. This legacy is now preserved at the Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU) in Florence, alongside records of the European Union’s main institutions—recognising the Foundation’s key role in the European integration process. To encourage engagement with its historical archives held at the HAEU, the ECF offers two annual Fellowships: - Academic Research Fellowship – includes a grant of €5,000 to support a research stay at the HAEU, including travel, accommodation, and living expenses. - Artistic Research Fellowship – includes a grant of €10,000 to support a research stay at the HAEU, including travel, accommodation, and living expenses, as well as artistic production. Fellows work at the HAEU, embedded in the international scholarly community of the European University Institute in Florence. The Archives are housed at Villa Salviati, offering a unique and inspiring environment for research and creative work. Eligibility: Academic Research Fellowship – open to researchers in European studies, cultural studies, history, and related fields in the humanities and social sciences, including: - PhD and postdoctoral researchers - Early-career researchers within ten years of completing a master’s or doctoral degree - Independent scholars with an active research profile Artistic Research Fellowship – open to professional creatives in fields such as: - Visual arts - Performing arts - Film and audiovisual practices - Podcasting and audio storytelling - Documentary, journalism, or literary practices Applicants should demonstrate research-based practice and a clear dissemination strategy.

The center is housed in the historic Siming District, a charming old neighbourhood that effortlessly blends local heritage with contemporary urban life. Within walking distance are numerous small restaurants, bustling markets, cosy pubs, and the serene Nanputuo Temple, all set against the backdrop of Xiamen University. More importantly, the area lies just steps from the coast, where the city’s traditional fishing harbour remains alive with activity. This enduring seafaring culture, combined with the narrow alleys and friendly community, gives the neighbourhood a distinct character that naturally draws creative people from diverse backgrounds. The exhibition space, approximately 70 square meters, is modest yet thoughtfully designed, providing an intimate setting for displaying sculptures, graphic works, and other visual art forms. CEAC’s annual exhibition calendar features ten to twelve shows, each presented by invited artists and residents, and is complemented by a rich program of lectures, workshops, festivals, and outdoor film screenings. Since 2010, the center has also organized large-scale group exhibitions Rolling Snowball in major Chinese cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Datong and Quanzhou, as well as internationally in Djupivogur, Iceland. The CEAC artists-in-residence program offers a supportive environment for artists, designers, architects, curators, writers, and composers to develop ideas, experiment freely, and produce new work. Beyond providing studio space, CEAC offers practical guidance on producing work outside conventional settings and connects residents with an extensive local network of artists, craftspeople, companies, and off-site production facilities. This enables each resident to realize their projects in the most effective and meaningful way. Moreover, the surrounding community – with its deep-rooted fishing traditions, vibrant street life, and warm hospitality – serves as a living source of inspiration, encouraging cross-cultural encounters that benefit both the visiting residents and the local neighbourhood. CEAC actively promotes cultural and intellectual exchange among its residents, local artists, and students of Xiamen University. Residents are frequently invited to give lectures or public presentations about their practice, and to conduct guest seminars and hands-on workshops for university students, fostering a dynamic dialogue that enriches the entire creative ecosystem.

We support each artist by tailoring the program to meet the requirements of their individual proposal, and arranging activities and opportunities according to their interests, practice, and project.  This may include: 1. Connections to local artists, craftspeople, growers, and members of the community, creating opportunities for collaboration and research. 2. Facilitation of workshops with local artisans, exploring indigenous practices, crafts, and culinary traditions using locally sourced materials. 3. Guided neighbourhood field trips, or route suggestions for independent exploration. 4. Opportunities to participate in seasonal and traditional community activities of tending the satoyama landscape. 5. Organizational and promotional assistance with artist-led residency events, such as performances, workshops, or exhibitions. 6.

Through programming that includes artistic residencies, exhibitions and public programmes, Ses12naus seeks to drive social change and expand the cultural identity of the island. Through this Balearic and European call, Ses12naus fosters artistic mobility and exchange between different contexts, while supporting the trajectories of artists and curators at any stage of their career. The programme aims to favour artistic production and the generation of new critical perspectives. To this end, it provides the time, space and resources necessary to develop a new project or to give continuity to an ongoing one. Its two-phase format opens a space for reflection, and accompanies the evolution of the projects from initial immersion to subsequent production. Ses12naus is launching a two-phase residency programme, aimed at: - Two visual artists or curators based in the Balearic Islands. - Two visual artists or curators based in Spain or Europe. The residency will take place across two seasons (2026 and 2027) and consists of two phases: - Phase 1: from 21 November to 13 December 2026 (3 weeks) - Phase 2: from 17 May to 7 June 2027 (3 weeks) Between the two phases, the Foundation's team will maintain active follow-up with the project in order to support the resident in the conceptualisation and formalisation of their proposal. The first phase of the residency will be dedicated to research and exploration of the territory, allowing participants to gain an in-depth understanding of the local context. In this first period, the residents will be required to carry out a public activity linked to their process. During the second phase, they will return to the island to carry out their proposals: artists will produce their works, curators will give continuity to their research, and both will present the results of the project. This framework allows participants to connect meaningfully with the island of Ibiza and its communities, and to develop — or expand — a project in dialogue with its context. The workspace at La Carpintería, the Foundation's creation centre, is located in the industrial area of Can Bufí, near the city of Ibiza. The centre welcomes creators from various disciplines. This call is open to visual artists and curators residing in Ibiza, the Balearic Islands, Spain and Europe. There is no age limit. For the 2026–2027 edition, four projects will be selected: two from the Balearic Islands, one from the rest of Spain, and one from another European country. Funding: - Honoraria: Each resident will receive a financial grant of €1,800 as fees (€900 per phase). Additionally, a remuneration of €300 will be paid for the public activity carried out within the framework of the residency. All these amounts will be subject to the corresponding taxes and withholdings. - Travel expenses: Up to €330 (€165 per phase) for participants from Spain and up to €770 (€385 per phase) for participants from other European countries. The Foundation will handle the bookings. No additional travel or visits to the island between Phase 1 and Phase 2 will be admitted or financed from the assigned production budget. Any travel outside the official residency periods must be fully covered by the resident. - Production expenses: Artists: up to €3,000 for the production and public presentation, including transport of the work if necessary. In addition, the Foundation will cover up to €500 of installation expenses related to the final public presentation, and up to €200 of expenses associated with the public activities. Curators: the Foundation will cover up to €500 for expenses related to the final presentation, and up to €200 for expenses related to the public activity. Fundación Ses12naus will also provide the selected candidates with the following resources: - Accommodation: a private bedroom with a private bathroom for exclusive use by each resident, as well as a shared kitchen and living room. - Workspace at La Carpintería, the Foundation's centre for creation: the dimensions of the workspace and the furniture will be defined according to the needs of the project. The technical resources available include projectors, speakers, machinery, tools and other equipment. Any specific tool, machinery or material that is not part of La Carpintería's current inventory must be brought or purchased directly by the resident, financed with their assigned production budget. - Production assistance: to cover any potential needs of the public activities and presentations. - Transportation: a shared car available throughout the stay. A valid driving licence is required. - Airport transfers. The application is online, with a deadline for submitting applications is 30 September 2026, at 23:59 (CET).

c.e.m - Centro em Movimento

The Risk of Dancing Intensive Jul 23, 2026 | Intensives Intensive practices in Movement/Dance studies and artistic creation emerging from the desire of considering what is this becoming Body that unfolds from tuning with the state of dance. Where: Centro em movimento, Lisbon, Portugal When: from 12 october to 18 december Deadline for applications: 30 september, 2026 c.e.m has dedicated its existence to the research in the studies of the Body, Movement and the Common through the encounter with the unknown, with the great Nothing that nourishes everything. We can not be Body alone! The journey side-by-side between each c.e.m researcher is precious and fundamental in the tuning of each step and with the symphony of steps that is making itself present. We are not interested in formulas, closed methodologies, or the snobbery of “I already know”. The arrogance of claiming a place of belonging that is called “dance” inhibits the liquidity of the experience of dance as a poetry of the gesture that is born only in the experience of being-with, every day. It is necessary to walk in order to walk, to ask in order to ask, to write in order to write, to dance in order to dance, to exist in order to exist … that is what we are and we do every day. It is amazing how fast we humans go from a discovery, a tilt, a breath, a restlessness to a trivialized, “certainty” free from vibration. It is impressive how many discourses around Body that were never allowed to move through deformation, through questioning. It’s amazing how much you say Body without being body. We certainly do not bring with the Risk of Dancing the solution to these insistences of human behavior, but we bring the rigor of the daily practice of becoming Body. How to apply: All applications are a process of meeting and conversation that consists in the very exercise of “risking” considering an ongoing and open path. To open the dialogue you should send us: – An exercise in writing/audio/video around a possible life history – A writing reflection that brings what moves you to dive into the work with c.e.m – A curriculum vitae – A writing/audio/video exercise that brings a vision (not a prediction) of what could emerge or be intensified by this experience Costs for participants: 600€ (possibly in 3 instalments of 200€) Contact details: [email protected] +351 21 887 1763 R. dos Fanqueiros, 150 – 1º – 1100-232 Lisboa For further information, please visit http://www.c-e-m.org For more dance INTENSIVES, visit https://dancingopportunities.com/category/dance-intensives/
