Appel ouvert : Projet d’auto-organisation Mophradat

Mophradat s'intéresse à la manière dont un groupe d'artistes s'organise et travaille ensemble.

[Cet appel a été publié en anglais].

Self Organizations encourages new and thoughtful ways of working together.

In practical terms, the program provides support to projects that involve a group of arts practitioners coming together to share a practical tool or engage in a collective learning experience that they determine to be useful for the development of their work.

Instead of emphasizing recurring models of collaboration, whether hierarchical or horizontal, Self Organizations invites experimentation on how groups organize themselves starting from having a shared commitment. To enrich the program for the participating groups, Mophradat will offer a series of short seminars around the practical and conceptual aspects related to working together as well as bespoke workshops linked to the content of each participating group.

The program encourages imaginative proposals in one of the two categories:

1. Informal Co-ops: Four or more art practitioners come together to form a group to share a resource that is helpful to their individual practices for six months to one year. Examples include, but are not limited to, a shared workspace, technical equipment, or hiring an assistant for the group. A maximum budget of 8,000 EUR will be available to cover the cost of this shared resource, for a period of no more than one year.

2. Topical Assemblies: Three or more art practitioners come together to develop and organize workshops, seminars, or other forms of collective discourse on a specialized topic of their interest. The assembly can be public or limited to the group, and can take place online or in-person depending on the group’s needs. Examples include a group inviting guest speakers on a specialized topic or resources for a collaborative research process led by the group itself. A maximum budget of 4,000 EUR will be available for activities over the course of six months.

The overall purpose of the program is to incite productive conversations, encourage the development of bespoke protocols for collaboration, and push for new shared art experiences to take place. You can find a link to some suggested readings on the subject of self-organizing that we have commissioned and come across at the end of this call.

Deadline: 10/06/2025
