STUDIO / RESIDENCY

The studio and residency programme seeks to provide artists, creative practitioners, curators, cultural producers, and writers with the opportunity to activate and present their projects. 

​

Each residency lasts four weeks and serves as an incubator to catalyse dialogue through interdisciplinary engagement and exchanges.

The residency is site-specific, responding to and engaging with dblspce’s current site, surrounding vicinity and environment. While the residency is not outcome-driven, interested applicants should activate dblspce as a site of encounters and happenings through exhibitions, workshops, talks, reading groups, presentations, and similar engagements. The residency also includes mentoring and coaching sessions to facilitate deeper discussions with the resident and their practice.

Open Call: Residency (Cycle 05) 

We are delighted to announce the Open Call for dblspce residencies (Cycle 5), inviting proposals responding to the theme "Embodied Kinships".  Inspired by artist and scholar Keren Moscovitch (2020), “Intimacy is a political act, one that challenges dominant paradigms of power by fostering alternative modes of connection and kinship”, this cycle welcomes artists, researchers, and cultural practitioners exploring kinship as an embodied, relational practice. Proposals may emerge from a range of disciplines, including but not limited to participatory and performance practices, socially-engaged research, oral and written storytelling, healthcare, human resources, and other interdisciplinary or community-based approaches. We encourage applications from those who work across and beyond traditional artistic frameworks, expanding notions of belonging, intimacy, and collective care.


The residency is open to individuals and collectives based in Singapore and Southeast Asia, welcoming proposals from practitioners across all fields and disciplines. Selected residents will be hosted between April 2025 and January 2026. For this cycle, we encourage regional artists to explore independent funding and accommodation options or join us as online residents, where they will remain fully supported and engaged in our vibrant community.
