Open Call: Research Residencies
The Centro de Estudios of Museo Reina Sofía releases its open call for research residencies as part of the climate thread within the Museum of the Commons programme.
The Centro de Estudios is offering four research residencies, distributed accross two calls in 2024 and 2025. The first call is for two residences, whose objective is to foster research through artistic and cultural practices and participation in research networks connected to the Museum of the Commons and its research thread CLIMATE. The thread focuses on the current planetary climate crisis, the sustainability of institutional, artistic and cultural practices and the urgency to transform our politics, societies, cultures and ways of living towards ecologically sustainable models.
The research lines proposed for this call are:
- Ecological, social and political sustainability of the cultural ecosystem
- Food sovereignty and situated institutional practices such as community gardens and kitchens
- Architecture as a lab for institutional and social sustainability
- Diaspora and migrant communities, in particular as a result of climate change
- Communal practices and political imagination
Applications are welcome in Spanish or English. The deadline for applications is September 15.
More info on the research residencies terms and application form is available here.

The Soils Project
‘The Soils Project’ is part of an eponymous, long-term research initiative involving TarraWarra Museum of Art (Wurundjeri Country, Australia), the Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven, Netherlands) and Struggles for Sovereignty, a collective based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It works through specific and situated practices that consider soil, as both metaphor and matter.
Seeking and facilitating opportunities to listen to diverse voices and perspectives around notions of caring for land, soil and sovereign territories, the project has been in development since 2018. An international collaboration between three organisations, and several artists, curators, writers and activists, it has manifested in various iterations over several years. The group exhibition ‘Soils’ at the Van Abbemuseum is part of Museum of the Commons. -
