Garde de pont

Bridge Guard offers a residential programme for artists and scientists interested in exploring the theme of crossing and protecting boundaries. Participants develop projects that build virtual bridges supporting the preservation of the historic Mária Valéria Bridge linking Štúrovo (Slovakia) and Esztergom (Hungary). The residency lasts between three and six months and is open to applicants of any nationality. Applicants must submit a CV, work samples, a project description, and indicate preferred dates. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. The programme provides studio/workspace and access to the bridge site, but does not specify accommodation or a stipend. The call is managed by Bridge Guard, a cultural initiative based in Štúrovo, Slovakia.
