The Caribbean Digital Virtual Artist’s Residency 2023

The Caribbean Digital Virtual Artist’s Residency 2023 is a program supporting Caribbean artists working in digital media.

This residency seeks to support the development of “born-digital” creative work primarily based on digital media and tools rather than analog work that is digitized merely for presentation or storage. Artists may work in media, including and not limited to images, sound, and text. Also integral to the residency is the artist’s engagement with Caribbean Digital Humanities, a multidisciplinary field of study that brings digital technologies into the research, analysis, visualization, and application of the traditional humanities. During the residency, the artist is expected to engage in dialogue with Caribbean Digital Humanities scholars to enrich their creative and research practices.

The residency consists of the following:

• a cash stipend of US$5,000 to support six months of part-time
  research and creative work, to begin in June 2023;
• curatorial mentorship by artist and Alice Yard co-director
  Christopher Cozier;
• two virtual studio visits by professional curators or critics;
• the commissioning and online publication of a critical text by a
  professional art writer to document the artist’s work and process;
• arranged travel and accommodation to present the resulting work at
  TCD’s annual conference in December 2023.

Please find the full call for applications here.

The residency is offered in conjunction with the annual Caribbean Digital (TCD) conference, an international event hosted annually at locations in the United States and the Caribbean since 2014, in partnership with Alice Yard, a contemporary art collective based at Granderson Lab in Belmont, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. This program is sponsored by the Mellon Foundation.
