Selection

The programme reflects a curatorial focus on sound, composition, and media art. The door is open to any practice that makes sense here.

What we look for is a clear question. A project that needs unstructured time and room to follow where the work leads. Some residents come with a defined goal; others come to find out what the goal is. Both are welcome.

We respond to every application. When there's a possible fit, we continue the conversation to understand what the stay could look like and whether the conditions here can support it.

How to apply

Write to us at info@zvjezdanestaze.ba. Describe your work and what you would use the time for. No fixed format.

For artists from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the former Yugoslavia, and the diaspora.

Duration: 2 weeks · Frequency: 4× per year (one per season) · Accommodation: covered · Travel and food: self-arranged · Partner or child welcome

The artistic practice should engage with local context: landscape, soundscape, village, forest, seasonal rhythms, history, culture, language. We look for concepts, recordings, and documentation that grow from being here. These become part of our archive and can become material for the Zvučne Staze audio walks.

Spring, summer, autumn, winter. Four seasons, four soundscapes.

If this sounds like something for you, write to us. Tell us about your work and which season interests you.
