ASA (Autonomous Space Agency)

Open call for artists, collectives and associations

Application deadline: August 31, 2017

<http://autonomousspaceagency.org>autonomousspaceagency.org

In collaboration, Berlin contemporary arts institution Neuer Berliner 
Kunstverein (n.b.k.) and new organizational structure ASA (Autonomous 
Space Agency) seek proposals from individuals, collectives and 
associations developing independent content, freedom of speech, and 
communal determination. This call seeks proposals that imagine, 
create, and maintain autonomous spaces in places where they are 
intended or have been destroyed.

Without exclusivity or essentialism, we look to the larger 
Mesopotamia region, inspired by multiplicity of the Euphrates and 
Tigris. We encourage proposals that focus on the creation of space 
for common human use-the commons and commonalities of a region that 
is defined by a diversity of peoples, languages, and cultures.

The open-call is primarily directed to artists and collectives who:
-are specifically from this geographical context,
-are currently based there,
-are not able or willing to be there because of current urgencies,
-critically relate their practice to the region with its history, 
peoples, languages,
-would like to make informed contributions to its rich context...
