House of Rest

The “House of Rest” is a five-day residency retreat for colleagues from the art scene who feel overwhelmed, under pressure to constantly produce, or simply seek a space of calm for their thoughts. This residency offers an opportunity to slow down, recalibrate artistic practice, or simply rest and recharge. It is primarily intended for those working in production, dramaturgy, curating, PR, technical, and other supportive roles in the independent art sector within the Czech Republic.

Two participants will be selected, with at least one spot reserved for a professional from Slovakia.

The final location and specific dates will be mutually agreed upon with the selected participants. The retreat may take place in nature, in a city, near the participant’s home, or elsewhere.

No outcome or participation in any activities is required.

Participants will be selected by lottery, as it is not for us, or anyone else, to decide who needs rest more. We all need it.
