感知边界

The Narva Art Residency (NART) invites five individual artists from Nordic or Baltic countries to engage with the border between Estonia and Russia in Narva. Over a 10‑week residency, each artist will focus on one of the five human senses—sight, hearing, touch, smell, or taste—to transform the geopolitical reality of the border into a multisensory experience. The program offers a €2,000 creative grant, €1,000 production budget, and €300 travel reimbursement, along with free private accommodation, shared studio and kitchen facilities, access to local cultural sites, and mentorship from visiting experts. Artists must be permanently residing in the specified countries, be available for the full residency period, and work in any artistic discipline. Applications are due by 25 October 2026 and must be submitted via the provided form.
