“Participatory and socially engaged art; community regeneration; educational and community-focused artistic practice”
Within the European Project OASis (Open Art Spaces in Sinergy), Fondazione Campania Welfare is launching the second round of OASis In the Park, following the success of our first residency cycle (San Laise Open Lab). The residency is based at Parco San Laise, a former NATO base in Bagnoli, Naples, currently undergoing a gradual process of social and cultural regeneration. The OASis operates as a diffused platform across multiple spaces within the park, combining artistic creation, community engagement, and social activation. OASis in the Park will take place between September and October 2026, with each selected artist staying for approximately two weeks within that period. Artists interested in developing participatory, socially engaged practices with strong educational and/or community-focused components are welcome. Activities may include workshops, co-creation sessions, personal artistic but community-based projects, training initiatives, or other artistic interventions.
