BABESTU. CREATION SUPPORT PROGRAMME
CURRENT CALL
2023-2024
In 2020 Azkuna Zentroa launched the first Babestu call as an extraordinary support programme for contemporary creation in response to the exceptional circumstances stemming from the COVID-19 crisis. Hence the need in 2021 to continue to foster artistic creation, furthering these gestation processes and assisting people in the development of their projects.
The purpose is to foster the support and dissemination of contemporary creation and culture, stimulating the exchange of experiences, ideas and views, and likewise supporting the local creative fabric in its multidisciplinary and transversal dimension.
Within the framework of this call, five artistic practice projects related to the Centre's programme lines will be selected.
Babestu likewise seeks to be a tool at the service of artists in the undertaking of creative projects related to the Centre's programme and lines of action. It also facilitates the communities of public’s introduction to contemporary artistic reflection, and creates discussion positioning culture as a tool for transformation. The call prioritises the selection of projects meeting these requirements, with an emphasis not so much on the end product but rather on its execution.
Babestu is framed within Lantegia. Laboratory of Ideas, located in the third building of the Centre, dedicated to the production and visualisation of artistic projects. The selected artists, in addition to the support, advice and mediation of Azkuna Zentroa, will receive 6,000 Euros.
