From ecological transition to degrowth and the effective use of art. Based on an examination of artisanal practices and new forms of food production, the foundation invites visual artists, curators, designers and chefs to submit a project on the theme of deceleration in our overly consumerist world, that explores concepts for the collaborative economy (recycling, textiles, 3D creation, food…) and has a social impact. The two laureates will receive a production grant up to 10,000 euros depending on the project, workspace and residential accommodation at ThalieLab in Brussels.

Who is the residency for? Visual artists, designers, chefs or curators of all nationalities who speak French and/or English. Minimum age: 30

Selection criteria: Artistic ambition, innovation, social impact, uniqueness
