Open Call – Writers, Curators and Researchers
This residency program at HANGAR encourages dialogue, exchange and creative thinking. The program is non-prescriptive, allowing writers to develop projects in response to their new environment, or to conduct research benefiting from Lisbon´s resources.
HANGAR welcomes national and international writers and researchers. The residency programme at HANGAR aims to promote international experiences in cultural fields, encouraging enquiry and creativity through scholarly research and creative writing practices.
HANGAR supports writers or researchers, providing them with a unique opportunity to research a new project or idea.
The Residencies Program is firmly established in the Lisbon cultural scene, promoting diverse cultures and practices through international and experimental projects.
Hangar develops several International Residency Programs that give non-resident artists in Portugal or Lisbon the opportunity to live and work in Lisbon for a period between three weeks to three months (longer periods can be discussed.) The program aims to facilitate international dialogue and the exchange of ideas through creative practices in the areas of literature and research. Residents will benefit from exchanges with HANGAR’s other residency programs, which include artist residencies, and residencies for curators and critics.
Through strategic partnerships in the international art world and institutions linked to cultural production and research in various countries, the residency program at HANGAR aims to strengthen the existing exchange between Portugal, Europe, Africa and South America
