Open Call 2027 “Residens i Residensen” fellowships during documenta 16 in Kassel

Application deadline: 13 December 2026

Residens i Residensen (english: Residence in the Residence) is a fellowship program established by the Norwegian Embassy in Berlin that has been strengthening networking within the Norwegian arts and culture scene on an international level since 2022. In 2027, it will once again be offered as a nomadic program outside of Berlin, this time taking participants to Kassel, the city of documenta.

In cooperation with the Center for Resources Across Worlds (RAW) — Käte Hamburger Kolleg, University of Kassel, documenta Institut and Caricatura – Galerie für Komische Kunst, two four-week residencies will be awarded during documenta 16. The aim is to provide Norwegian artists, curators and cultural practitioners with international working and networking opportunities and to strengthen exchange with the art and cultural scene in Kassel, the state of Hessen and the international context of documenta.

Applications are open to persons with Norwegian citizenship or whose place of residence and work is in Norway.
