Deadline: April 30, 2016
Goethe Institut Nigeria offers a three months residency for artists and practitioners from Nigeria interested in cross disciplinary theory and practice dealing with ‘the city’. The residency offers a ‘living & work space’: furnished studio-apartments (half of which have private bathrooms), communal facilities, a platform open for public events, lectures, discussions, screenings, performances and presentations.
