For the seventh time kültüř gemma! will
award four working grants to migrant artists and
cultural producers from all fields and genres.
What
will be awarded?
kültüř gemma! will award four working grants for six months, each with 1,300 Euro per
month. During
this period of time, the submitted proposal is to be realized, while entry into
the cultural field and networking within
this field is to be supported at the same time.
Who can apply?
With the current call for proposals, candidates
from all sections of art and culture are invited
to apply. The call is is directed to cultural producers living and working
in Vienna, who
define themselves as migrant, Black, Person of Color without any specifications regarding
countries
of origin, nationalities or the like. kültüř gemma! understands migrant as a political
concept and as the self-designation
of a specific position within a majority.
With which kind of proposals?
Project proposals can be submitted,
which deal with current socio-political issues. There
are no specific thematic restrictions at all, so the project don’t
have necessarily to deal with
migration or any specific topic alike.
Proposals can be submitted from all areas of
art and culture. This means, for example, that
a poetry volume is just as welcome as a temporary intervention in the
street, a musical as
welcome as a virtual action with social media, a Super-8 film, or a fashion show.
It is important
that the project can be realized in the given time frame and will be presented
to the public in 2018. Apart from a contribution
of 800 Euro for the final presentation, no
further money for the production and realization of the project will be provided.
What is to submit? And when?

the – not
yet realized – work proposal is concretely described. Alternatively you could describe your
concept audio-visually,
via Video or Audio (max. 5 Minutes). A maximum of three images, etc. may be included.
The application concept is characterized
by its feasibility within six months, and has include
the forms and locations of its presentation.
In addition,
a biography (one page maximum) should be included, which enables an idea of

a classic CV, in other words, but rather a description
in a self-chosen format). Concept and biography should be submitted
in English or German,
if possible; attempts will be made to enable a translation from other languages, if necessary.
Who will select the candidates?
