OUR RESIDENCY PROGRAM IS A PLATFORM DESIGNED FOR KNOWLEDGE AND EXCHANGE IN LAGOS, NIGERIA. ARTISTS WORKING IN VARIED MEDIA (VISUAL, PERFORMANCE, DIGITAL, WRITING, ALTERNATIVE TECHNIQUES, COOKING, BARTENDING) SPEND ONE MONTH AT 16/16 DURING WHICH THEY ARE GIVEN SPACE TO EXPERIMENT, EXPLORE AND BUILD THEIR PROFESSIONAL AND CREATIVE NETWORKS.THERE IS A STRONG FOCUS ON FLEXIBILITY FOR EVERY RESIDENT; 16/16 CUSTOMISES PROGRAMMING BY LEVERAGING COLLABORATIONS AND INTERACTIONS FOR ARTISTS WITH MEMBERS OF OUR DIVERSE AND ROBUST COMMUNITY BUILT OVER THE YEARS. THESE INTERACTIONS ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE TO THE ART WORLD AND CAN TAKE ON DIFFERENT FORMS SO THAT EACH IS A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE.
DURING THE RESIDENCY, ARTISTS ARE REQUIRED TO HOLD A WORKSHOP OR OTHER ACTIVITY THAT FOCUSES ON KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE AND INTERACTION WITH THE PUBLIC. THROUGH AN EMPHASIS ON COLLABORATION AND DIALOGUE, AS OPPOSED TO MERE PRODUCTION OF ART, WE FOSTER A CROSS-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO CREATING ART. INTERESTED APPLICANTS SHOULD EMAIL
