open call for artists from syria

Delfina Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to facilitating artistic exchange and developing creative practice through residencies, partnerships and public programming.

With support from Rambourg Foundation and strategic coordination from Hani Zaitoun, Delfina Foundation welcomes applications from artists from Syria for two twelve-week residencies in London.

The two selected applicants will be each offered a residency covering the periods: 22 September–14 December 2025, or 6 January – 29 March 2026. Applicants’ availability for these various residency periods should be indicated on their application form.

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' autumn 2025 or winter 2026 seasons.
