Pro Helvetia Johannesburg announces Call for “Breathing Space”

USAID-Guatemala: Strengthening Engagement with Youth and Indigenous People

Deadline: 31-Jul-2020

The Pro Helvetia Johannesburg has launched a call for applications for the Breathing Space. The call is intended to open up opportunities to experiment with new possibilities and formats for artistic production, exchange, collaboration, presentation and reception, responsive to the complex demands of the present time at both a very local and global level.

The present call looks to enable a modest breathing space for arts practitionersorganisations and networks across the subcontinent to rethink ways of working and reimaginthe shape and position of cultural and creative work.

Moving beyond normal funding instruments, the present call both supports entirely new ideas and initiatives, as well as the amplification or extension of what arts practitioners are already doing in response to these changing circumstances. They are also open to proposals that involve the exploration of new formats and approaches as well as projects that use this moment of global rupture to engage more deeply with or interrogate older methods and practices and archives – or indeed to do both. Analogue and digital approaches are equally welcome. It is not expected that proposals should address COVID–19 at the level of theme or content. 

While connection to the Swiss arts scene is welcome, it is not a requirement of this call: interest is more in enabling local possibilities on the subcontinent that could in the future provide a basis for exchange and connection with the Swiss arts scene and cultural field more generally.
