Call for contributions
International
Project Week
4
– 8 November 2024
Dear
all,
The
Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp is excited to open this call for participation in our International Project Week for academic year 2024-2025! After a successful first edition, we would like to invite you once again to propose a workshop for our bachelor
students that will create an interdisciplinary possibility for them to get creative with other crafts and skills outside of their (kn)own atelier.
During
the project week, students and staff are invited to reflect on the theme of
skills, with an extra emphasis on sustainability. Practical and sustainable skills are a must in today’s world and because of this, we would like to offer our students the possibility to not only reflect on, but also have hands on experience
with various types of skills.
The
project week will take place from 4 to 8 November 2024 and is aimed at our Bachelor students. On Monday morning, students are invited to attend two keynote lectures that focus on the topics
of social and ecological sustainability. The rest of the week will be filled with
workshops that get them out of their comfort zone and into a different mindset. Students can build their own schedule by choosing a week-long workshop or going for a mix-and-match principle with shorter ones.
Wat
are we looking for?
We
are looking for workshops on not only traditional skills (like bronze casting, book binding, sand casting etc.) but also more contemporary skills (like 3D-scanning, laser cutting, deploying AI
in the art practice etc.). Sustainability could be added here as extra focus.
We
kindly invite you to join us and contribute by arranging a workshop for the participating students. Please express your interest by completing
this
form.
The
deadline for submission is September 1st 2024. We will then make a selection and inform you about our decision as soon as possible.
Erasmus+
This
event could qualify for the Erasmus+ program (Staff Mobility for Teaching). Please be aware that you need a minimum of eight hours and two days if you want to apply for this funding (applying happens through your home institution). Get in touch with us to
discuss the possibilities of accumulating these working hours.
Due
to the focus on sustainability, we would like to ask you to use green travel where possible (by train or bus, for example). Erasmus+ offers a top up for green travel, which allows you to be financed for a number of extra travel days. Please contact us or the
international office of your home institution for more information.
We
hope to welcome you in Antwerp for a fruitful and engaging experience!
Kind
regards,
Organizing
Team - Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp
