Designers in Residence Kortrijk
About This Opportunity
Design Region Kortrijk invites three creatives to work as Designers in Residence on the theme Metamorphosis. The residency will run from September 5 to December 5, 2025, and will engage participants in an intensive design research journey in Kortrijk, inspired by the region’s rich ceramics tradition. Designregio Kortrijk began as a collaboration between Intermunicipal Leiedal, Chamber of Commerce Voka West-Flanders, City of Kortrijk, University College Howest and Kortrijk Xpo. Since 2017, the Kortrijk region has been part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network: a worldwide network of 350 cities that use creativity as a lever for sustainable development. The selected designers will participate in the LIVING SUMMERSCHOOL and WONDER Creativity Festival, which will run from October 16 to November 2, 2025. The Designers in Residence Kortrijk will have the opportunity to present their (ongoing) research to a wider audience. Furthermore, the results of the residency will be showcased at the Metamorphosis exhibition at Abby from April 3, 2026, to August 16, 2026.
