ARRC is against violence, oppression, and extremism in any form, and for ceasefires around the world.



External Movements are the journeys,
both physical and virtual, that we as a collective
are invited to undergo with others. We see these external movements as occasions to be together, to listen and learn, to disseminate our work, and to contribute to the expanding field of art residency study.


Constructive Advanced Thinking Grant (2023 - 2025) with the project “A Transformation Framework for Artist Residencies, based on Internal Critiques, Alternative Histories, and Emerging Practices” (2023 - 2025) 

Alongside researchers from the University of Groningen and Transartists, ARRC have been selected for the NetIAS - the Network of Institutes of Advanced Studies’ Constructive Advanced Thinking Grant (2023 - 2025) with the project “A Transformation Framework for Artist Residencies, based on Internal Critiques, Alternative Histories, and Emerging Practices.” This grant allows us to come together at Hamburg IAS, Montpelier IAS, and Casa de Velasquez in Madrid to conduct prescient research in the field across the next three years.

Invited by Irmeli Kokko and the Kone Foundation, we joined a cohort of scholars, writers and activists engaged in artist residency research and writing.
