ARTISTIC RESIDENCIES
Imagining sustainable futures through alliances and shared practices.
BASE is a multidisciplinary research centre dedicated to the performing and visual arts, and to design.
The artist residency programme at BASE is a living laboratory: a space of care, listening, and possibility, where emerging practices find time, resources, and community.
A place and a moment where artists are not asked to produce, but to explore, fail, question, and build critical thought.
Residencies become a cultural and political act, capable of making often–invisible processes visible, and of imagining new forms of support.

JOURNAL
Care as method. Critique as practice. Community as form.
Every year we offer a residency programme dedicated to emerging generations, with a particular focus on queer, racialised, neurodivergent and disabled communities, ensuring a safe and accessible environment.
We build long-term relationships with the artists in residence and involve them in the co-design of the Public Programme, productions, and research processes that shape BASE.
We work in dialogue with designers, researchers, local communities and national and international partners to address the urgencies of the present together.
Protected time and space
Concrete support
Relationships and critical dialogue
A period dedicated to research, away from production pressures. The freedom to try, test, and rethink within an ecosystem of 12,000 m² dedicated to research and creation.
Curatorial mentoring, tutoring, technical and organisational guidance. Financial support and access to professionals and cultural organisations active in the area.
Each residency is shaped in relation to the territory and the communities that inhabit it, activating relationships, meanings, and shared responsibilities.
DESIRESIDE
/ PUBLICATION
DESIRESIDE is also an editorial project on the present and future of artistic residencies.
The DESIRESIDE publication was created out of the desire to share practices, visions, and questions with the artistic community, cultural institutions, and those working in cultural policy. Analyses of support models, reflections on research time and pre-production, perspectives on transdisciplinarity, dialogues between artists, curators, academics and cultural workers: a space for in-depth exploration of the role of residencies within the political, social, and democratic dimensions of contemporary culture.
