We have launched a call to offer a residency. For visual artists, of course. That's what we do at the Photography Resource Center. We also have a theme, namely: Sexualization of women and femininity within a minority in Romania.
What the resident should do: follow the exploration of the sexualization of women and femininity within a minority, how the phenomenon propagates, if there are customs and visible repercussions within the community.
Attention, we are talking about an international experience. Because the residency involves the collaboration between two visual artists who work mainly with photography to create one or more works.
The team will consist of one artist from Norway and one from Romania. The two artists will be selected by the CdRF team from those who will respond to this call.
The artists who will be selected will receive promotion and exposure, more precisely there will be two joint events to present the artistic approach and discuss with the public in Bucharest, at the Center's headquarters, on Strada Popa Tatu, 68. We will have a final exhibition with the completed work(s) (we do not aim to reach a certain number of works!), also at our place, at CdRF. Nonetheless, there will be a workshop/masterclass held by each of the two artists on a topic relevant to their artistic approach, also in Bucharest, also at CdRF.
How long is the residency? One month. From February 23 to March 23. The allocated budget: 20,000 lei for each artist (around 4000 EUR). The money covers: the artist's fee and the logistical costs of accommodation, transport, etc.
An important note, you know how it is in such cases: CdRF as organizer retains partial right to the final work or works.
The call is open until February 13, 2023, 11:59 p.m. Those who will apply must send an email to hello@cdrf.ro with the following:
- a brief description (maximum one A4 page) of the artistic project proposal for the residence;
- portfolio in pdf format.
We will announce the results of the selection on the website www.cdrf.ro on February 17, 2023, not earlier, but not later.
For any questions about this project, we invite you to contact us in writing at hello@cdrf.ro. We will answer you.

The EEA Grants represent the contribution of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway towards a green, competitive and inclusive Europe. There are two overall objectives: reduction of economic and social disparities in Europe, and to strengthen bilateral relations between the donor countries and 15 EU countries in Central and Southern Europe and the Baltics. The three donor countries cooperate closely with the EU through the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). The donors have provided €3.3 billion through consecuti
ve grant schemes between 1994 and 2014. For the period 2014-2021, the EEA Grants amount to €1.55 billion. More details are available on: www.eeagrants.org and www.eeagrants.ro.
