The Prince Claus Fund is excited to issue the 2022 open call for the Prince Claus Seed Awards. This opportunity is open to 100 emerging artists and cultural practitioners within the first five years of their careers who live and work in their eligible countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and Eastern Europe. Each award is valued at €5.000 and can be used to develop artistic and cultural practice. The funding call aims to create space for experimental work and development of new perspectives on societal challenges.
We especially encourage individuals with experimental artistic practices that:
- Represent minority groups and marginalized communities within society;
- Create safe spaces for young artists, makers and participants;
- Generate participation and empower local communities to express themselves freely;
- Propose new narratives and futures on histories, particularly those censored or marginalised for political, religious, cultural, or economic reasons;
- Enable exchange, cooperation and knowledge sharing related to the current global environmental crisis;
- Creatively and confidently challenge gender norms.
The deadline for the submission is March 1, 2022 at 23:59h Amsterdam Time.
