The Can Basté Civic Center has announced the opening of the call for the 2025 Photographic Residencies, aimed at emerging artists resident in Barcelona who use photography as a means of expression. This program offers a space for the development of projects linked to the photographic image, providing tools for creation, research, production and dissemination, as well as monitoring and support from the Can Basté technical team.
The duration of the residency will extend from February to September 2025 and the selected artists will have access to the center's self-service facilities, including the photographic set and the black and white analog laboratory, in addition to other multipurpose spaces. Likewise, support from the technical team will also be available and meetings with other cultural agents in the city will be facilitated, fostering professional and collaborative relationships between the different actors in the sector. The civic center will also offer financial support where each residency is provided with a grant of up to €1,000 in material, to facilitate the production of the works. And finally, a public exhibition in September will exhibit the projects developed during the residency.
As for the selection criteria, the proposals will be evaluated according to the ability to investigate the production process, the suitability of the equipment spaces, the technical feasibility, the uniqueness, quality and solidity of the proposal, as well as the exploration of the photographic image as a creative tool.
Applications can now be submitted until February 10, 2025. You can find more information about the call and the application form on the civic center's website .
