Bando pubblico: Residenza artistica (CSACH 2027)

The South Asian Visual Arts Centre (SAVAC) and the Centre for South Asian Critical Humanities (CSACH) at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) are seeking applications for a winter‑semester artist‑in‑residence (February to April 2027). The residency is in‑person and campus‑based; the selected artist must be present on campus at least two days per week and will lead class visits, seminars, talks or workshops, and deliver a public lecture. The artist will develop a site‑responsive or site‑specific work culminating in a temporary installation on campus. The program offers a CAD 17,000 artist’s fee paid in three monthly installments, a production budget of up to CAD 5,000, shared office space, university resources (Wi‑Fi, library card), access to SAVAC’s archives, and retains intellectual property rights. Applicants must have at least eight years of professional practice, be individual artists whose work engages political and social concerns of South Asia and its diasporas, and have roots in South Asia or its diasporas. While artists based anywhere in Southern Ontario and nearby areas may apply, the residency requires physical presence on the UTM Mississauga campus; travel and accommodation costs are the artist’s responsibility. Applications (CV, portfolio PDF, letter of intent, contact info) are due by 21 November 2026, 11:59 pm.

CAD 17,000 artist fee, up to CAD 5,000 production budget, shared office space, university Wi‑Fi and library access, access to SAVAC archives, intellectual property retained by artist.

Individual artists of South Asian descent or diaspora, minimum eight years of practice, must be able to be on‑site at UTM Mississauga at least two days per week; not open to full‑time students; residency dates fixed (Feb‑Apr 2027).
