DISCLAIMER• We do not demand the project to be accomplished in the form of an exhibition; on the contrary – we want artists, curators and researchers to focus on the process in a calm and peaceful environment using the velocity one finds comfortable and fruitful. But we are seeking deliberate proposals and inspiring ideas.
• We do not provide networking for the sake of networking, do not aim to boost artistic careers, and are not making portfolio reviews and pitchings. But we gladly assist in connections with professionals, and this year, we offer the mentoring program format. Every candidate should select mentors by themselves.
SOLIDARITY FEETo support the AIR InSILo Emergency program, we decided to implement a solidarity fee of 7 Euros. This fee is eligible ONLY for those who live in an Industrial country (according to the UN Development Program Report). All the funds will be donated to the
