OPEN CALL | Residency at Hangar for Writers Deadline: 30 Nov 2026 Country: Portugal The Residency program at Hangar encourages dialogue, exchange and experimentation. The program is non-prescriptive and process-based, allowing visiting writers to develop projects in response to their new environment, current research and practice, or to conduct research benefiting from Lisbon’s resources. The Residencies Program is firmly established in the Lisbon arts scene, promoting diverse cultures and practices through international and experimental projects. Our aim is to nurture interdisciplinary artistic research, which includes writers and journalists of all disciplines, and promote international experiences in cultural fields. We encourage enquiry and creativity through scholarly research as well as creative writing practices. Our special focus is to establish cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural connections, especially artistic exploration of questions within the postcolonial or diasporic experience, history and memory, and the current global situation. Hangar develops several International Residency Programs that give non-resident artists, writers and musicians in Portugal or Lisbon the opportunity to live and work in Graça, Lisbon for a period of one month to three months. Longer residencies can also be arranged upon request. The program aims to facilitate international exchange and the exchange of ideas, with our longest running residency program being in the field of visual arts. We therefore encourage interdisciplinary practice and promote those projects that cross the borders between writing, visual arts, performance, photography, music and video. Through strategic partnerships in the international art world and institutions linked to cultural production and artistic research in various countries, mainly through the Triangle Network, the Hangar residency program aims to strengthen the existing exchange between Portugal, Europe, Africa and South America.
