Artist Opportunities

The Stuart Hall Library Artist’s Residency is a funded opportunity for an artist to be in residence at Iniva’s Stuart Hall Library over a three-month period from February to April 2018. The selected artist will receive a total sum of £4,500 and given support to pursue their research in the library.

Iniva are particularly interested in working with an artist whose practice is informed by perspectives on politics, identity and activism; who is interested in the language of the international and ideas around diaspora; and whose methodology may relate to notions of archiving and the archival.

The deadline for applications is 5pm on Monday 25 September 2017.

If you have any further questions, please contact Ilze Rieba at info@stuarthallfoundation.org or come along to the Q&A session on 12th September, 6.30-8.00pm at the Stuart Hall Library at Iniva, 1 Rivington Place, London EC2A 3BA.
