FUTURES develops residency programmes that support artistic practice, research, and professional development within the field of photography and image-making.

FUTURES Artistic Residency

A curated residency programme for artistic development, research and public engagement.Developed by FUTURES and hosted in collaboration with partner organisations across Europe, the Artistic Residency offers artists dedicated time for research, experimentation, and the development of new work.The programme brings artists into dialogue with new cultural contexts, professional communities, and local audiences, creating opportunities for exchange, reflection, and critical engagement. While each residency takes place within a different environment, all are grounded in a shared framework that supports artistic development through research, dialogue, and collaboration.By connecting artists with partner organisations, peers, and local ecosystems, the residency encourages new perspectives, meaningful encounters, and the expansion of artistic practice beyond familiar contexts.
