Ha.aH Space is a vibrant hub nestled in the heart of Barcelona's Old Town. Its 350sqm venue combines workspace and exhibition area, where we host monthly events and regularly coordinate art projects with a broad network of local artists and art spaces.
Barcelona Is Our Context
From September 8th to November 24th, 2024, our city will host Manifesta 15, centering on the themes of Balancing Conflicts, Cure and Care, and Imagining Futures. This edition aims to transform the relationship between art, culture, and society by exploring and fostering socio-ecological change.
In this dynamic setting, Ha.aH will open its doors to offer a distinctive cultural experience, inviting international visitors to explore spaces and creators beyond the official Biennale program.
In collaboration with Arthaus Residency we offer 16 artists the opportunity to participate in two production and exhibition residency programs (8 artists per program). Each program will involve practice, essay, production and research, culminating in a collective exhibition.
Our main goal is to advance the selected artists’ professional development by offering a space for their creative practice and experimentation, with the guidance and support of the Residency’s staff and associates.
Programs will span 30 days each, taking place in September and November 2024, coinciding with the Manifesta 15 schedule. Artists in residence will produce their work during 8 days, with 2 days for exhibition assembly and 20 days open to the public.
Individual artists or groups may apply. Applicants must be over 18 years old and able to present a body of work representative of at least two years of work in any contemporary art discipline.
Program fee
1000 EUR per participant. Each artist must pay airfare to and from Barcelona; in addition, lodging, meal costs and incidental expenses incurred in the course of the residency.
