ARTISTS CONNECTING IN TRANSITION
ARTISTS CONNECTING IN TRANSITION (ACT) is a new international programme hosted by D6: Culture in Transit (UK), Arthereistanbul (Turkey), MedeArts (Jordan) and the Fanak Fund (who work across the Arab speaking world).
Funded by a British Council International Collaboration Grant, ACT is a unique cultural collaboration for artists and producers, centring on artistic practice and international exchange in the context of significant global challenges and inequalities around forced migration, exile and displacement. The programme has been developed with collaboration and learning at the heart of its approach. ACT sets out to create environments of care, creativity and support for artists whose practice has been disrupted through forced migration.
We have selected artists Amak Mahmoodian and Zariq Rosita-Hanif as the two UK artists who will participate in residencies at the D6 studio within a group of six exceptional artists across the project.
During 2022 and 2023, ACT’s ambitious programme of in-person and online activities will include six artist residencies in UK, Turkey and Jordan, international workshops, a digital launch of artworks and local exhibitions.
