The Embassy of Foreign Artists residency programme is partnering with the Records and Archives of International Organisations Group to offer the opportunity to apply for a residency supporting a project that would benefit from the archives of RAIOG members.
The archives of international organizations are part of the collective memory. These archives constitute a formal record made up of reports, official letters and documentary images that contain no less than millions of human stories. Through the eyes of artists, the idea is to transform this material and give it a new dimension.
Applications should propose projects in which the archives of international organisations are the main resources used. Examples of accessible archives are those of the UNHCR, UN, ILO, ICRC, IFRC, WHO and WIPO. Applicants can also propose other international organizations or NGOs based in Geneva.
