 Who can apply?

Our residency program is open to applications from artists, linguists, architects/engineers, sociologists/psychologists, and participants from all relevant fields who want to enter a research/production process that will focus and raise awareness around Saye's areas of in interest: Censorship / auto-censorship in the patriarchic societies in which we live in today; forgotten / subdued stories of women and the "othered" individuals.

You can apply to the program individually or as a team of a maximum of 3 people.

​

Fees and Accommodation

Artist Residency participants will be able to stay and work at Tarlabaşı Campus for 2 to 4 weeks, depending on their needs. Accommodation and studio facilities on campus are free, expenses such as cleaning and food belong to the artists themselves.

Depending on the need, the artist(s) can also spend some time in Assos House.
This will be decided together with the program directors. At Assos House, expenses other than travel and accommodation will be borne by the guest artist.

​​

Support from Saye Collective during your creative process:

Artists from the collective may offer somatic creation exercises to support the residents’ creative process if mutually agreed. These exercises mainly help form a deeper relationship with the body/mind within the context of the theme at hand. Resident artists will also have the chance to present their work or share their process with Saye Collective Artists through online feedback and Q&A sessions. Residents may be introduced to the network of other artists for co-created work as well. 

​​

All decisions regarding the process will be made in accordance with the needs of the resident artists.
