Passepartout Duo: Babbasawt Sound Lab 2025 for Europe-based Artists Working with Sound (Tunisia)

Babbasawt Sound Lab residency offers a fully funded opportunity for musicians, sound artists, and multidisciplinary artists working with sound, currently residing in Europe. The residency takes place from 6 January to 7 February 2025, in Tunis, Tunisia.

The residency pairs five musicians/sound artists from a Creative Europe country with five Tunisian musicians/sound artists. The selected artists will work together on new collaborative works, while also participating in mentor led workshops on instrument building and experimental music/sound techniques. The final goal is to help participants realise new collaborations, and to present this publicly as a performance, exhibition, or participatory action using a variety of musical instruments, including the ones built during the course of the residency.

The present open call is meant to select the five artists from any Creative Europe country / territory; a separate call will be issued at a later date to select the Tunisian artists.

Each of the five participants selected through this call will receive the following:

accommodation free of charge at Dar Meso
a daily allowance
a travel stipend to be calculated by distance (an additional green top-up is available for slow travel)
free workshops
production support
networking possibilities in Tunis
public events and final work documentation

Couples, groups, or collectives: each member needs to send in an individual application, indicating if they wish to work together in their project description.

Deadline: 13 October 2024
