Situated Creative Practices for the Pluriverse (SIT-PLU) is a Creative Europe Cooperation project tackling socio-ecological challenges through cross-disciplinary research and context-specific artistic interventions. Drawing on the Zapatista concept of the pluriverse—”a world where many worlds fit”—the project embraces diverse ways of knowing and living, foregrounding buen vivir (social well-being), communal interdependence, and the relationships between human and more-than-human entities.
The project includes a program of residencies (SIT-RES) happening in 2026 and 2027, where artists and creative practitioners selected through this open call will be invited to engage with a specific context (social, geographical, historical) for one year and develop new forms of creative intervention/cultural mediation.
An application for the upcoming 2027 residency period can be submitted for the following institutions and contexts:
• Baltan Laboratories (NL) will engage with Wondermash, a future ecologies institution operating within the living storyscape of the Meuse Delta;
• Lungomare (IT) will engage with the riverscapes in Bolzano;
• Idensitat (ES) will explore the theme of sacrifice zones, focusing upon neighbourhoods in the metropolitan area near the mouth of the Besos river;
• ZEMOS98 (ES) will work with sustainable, local models of energy transition in Galicia in Northwestern Spain;
