Keele Institute of Social Inclusion and ArtsKeele are inviting expressions of interest for an artist in residence at Keele University, Staffordshire. The residency takes place from May 2020 to Spring 2021. Expressions of interest are welcome from individuals and artist groups / collectives.

ArtsKeele and Keele University’s Institute for Social Inclusion (KISI) have established a partnership to explore how artists and academics can collaborate to inform and develop ways of reframing and reclaiming terms such as social exclusion, vulnerability and resilience in a particular social setting, namely contemporary North Staffordshire.

The residency will open up the opportunity for collaboration and the exchange and creation of knowledge between the artist and academics at KISI, which will then inform creative critical responses to the Institute’s themes of Tackling Inequalities and Supporting Communities.
