open call for artists from central asia

With support from Delfina Foundation’s Network of Central Asia Patrons we welcome applications from contemporary visual artists from Central Asia for a 12-week residency in London taking place from 31 March ­­­­­— 22 June 2025, during Delfina Foundation’s spring residency season.

Each year, Delfina Foundation runs four three-month residency seasons. These residency seasons are dedicated to ‘open’ independent research or to 'thematic’ collective research around a specific issue or idea. This residency will take place during our 'open' spring 2025 season.

RESIDENCY ACTIVITIES: Alongside gaining time and space to develop their work, all seasons of Delfina Foundation residencies offer a programme that includes:

— Guided visits to museums, galleries, non-profits, artist-run spaces and studios, as well as trips to institutions outside London; — Opportunities to meet and engage with artists, curators, academics and researchers through organised presentations, studio visits, events and meals;

— Professional development activities including presentations and crits, portfolio reviews, and mentoring activities to strengthen the artistic practice; and

— Collaborative exchange between residents through informal gatherings and meals.
