Open Call / 25AV Residency Programme

TZ: 25AV is a pan-European platform for audiovisual and performing arts, initiated by five community web radios: Kiosk Radio (Brussels), Radio Raheem (Milan), Radio 80000 (Munich), Stegi Radio (Athens), and Infame Radio (Brno).

We’re looking for projects that challenge conventional practices, crossing disciplines such as performance, visual art, music, new media, literature and beyond.

Who can apply? Duos or small groups (up to 4 people), based in at least two different Creative Europe eligible countries.

Selected artists will join one of 5 residencies in Brussels, Milan, Munich, Athens or Brno throughout 2026, with mentorship & live showcases.

The project will culminate in April 2027 at the 25AV Festival at @kanal.centrepompidou (Brussels), where the works developed across Europe will be brought together on one stage.

Together, 25AV connects artists and audiences through residencies, live showcases, radio shows, and podcasts. Through the open call, the platform invites collaborative projects from across Europe to explore new audiovisual practices and experimental approaches across performance, visual art, music, new media, and literature.

The residency programme offers time, space, and resources for artistic experimentation at the project’s partner institutions in Brussels, Milan, Munich, Brno, and Athens. It will culminate in April 2027 at the 25AV Festival at KANAL–Centre Pompidou (Brussels), where the works developed across Europe will be brought together on one stage.

25AV invites artistic collaboration projects and collectives from across Europe(+) to apply for the 25AV Residency Programme, a pan-European platform for collaborative artistic production in the fields of media art, sound, performance, and audiovisual experimentation. Funded by the Creative Europe Programme, 25AV fosters dialogue and exchange among emerging and early-career artists through a network of residencies in five European cities.

We are particularly interested in collaborative formats that challenge conventional performative and audiovisual practices, encouraging experimental and conceptually open approaches across disciplines such as Performance, Visual Art, New Media, Music & Literature.

The 25AV Residencies offer time, space, and resources for participating artists to work collectively and develop new interdisciplinary and/or audiovisual projects. Each residency culminates in a public presentation, requiring the work to take a form suitable for staging or live performance.

The residencies will take place throughout 2026 and 2027 at Onassis Stegi (Athens, GR), Vitamin (Brno, CZ), iMAL (Brussels, BE), Triennale Milano (Milan, IT) & Lothringer 13 Halle (Munich, DE).

The duration of each residency varies between 7 and 14 days, depending on the host institution.

The newly developed works will be showcased again together at the 25AV Festival in April 2027, held in collaboration with Kanal–Centre Pompidou (Brussels, BE).
