Yellow Brick, a DAI friend in Athens ( also one of our 2018 COOP SUMMIT hosts), welcomes applications from artists of all disciplines to reside and work in Nea Ionia for 9-12 weeks during the periods 2025 December & 2026 Mid February – July, September – December. This OPEN CALL addresses artists with a current practice in/or a desire to explore one or more of the following themes: relations between body and community, healing and rest, politics of labor, exhaustion, traditional women’s knowledge, migration – displacement, language and histories between borders. DEADLINE for the first round of applications is 1st March 2025.
Yellow Brick is an independent cultural institution of contemporary art that has been active in the district of Nea Ionia, in Attica, since 2016. It is an initiative of the artist Vasiliki Sifostratoudaki based on the promotion of interdisciplinary dialogue and cultural exchange undertaken through relational engagement of writers, curators, and members of the local community.
The artistic program, which lasts from September to December and from March to July each year, after an open call, hosts artists from Greece and abroad. Artists have the opportunity of an artistic residency in order to develop their practices, create synergies with the Yellow Brick project and present the results of their experience.
Reflecting on the residency’s legacy, which has been running since December 2016 and is co-authored with more than 56 artists, Yellow Brick welcomes applications from artists of all disciplines to reside and work in Nea Ionia for 9 to 12 weeks.
Acknowledging the valuable prospects of an extended period of research and with much consideration to past residents’ feedback, YB has taken the decision to give primary focus to applications for a prolonged stay (STEP) – thus allowing ample time for meaningful interactions with the area, Athens at large, YB’s team and local network and work towards a public event.
