Titanik A.i.R. 2027

Continuing the approach initiated last year, in 2027, the Titanik A.i.R. program will host sound artists/collectives from diverse geopolitical backgrounds with a specific thematic focus on the sonic exploration of new – reciprocal– ways of living, thinking and working together. We want to learn from sound as a material phenomenon; inherently connective and connected to listening. We are interested in sound as a space of collectivity and community building. We are looking for sonic practices that function as a space-making tool to create mutually challenging and enriching conversations and capacious social spaces for critical thinking. This year, the residents also have the possibility to utilize the newly established Titanik Radio and its broadcasting possibilities as a channel during their residency period.

Titanik artist-in-residence programme is happy to host process-based and research-based residencies for artists who work with sonic practices or at the intersections of sound and other mediums and are looking for an opportunity to live and work in Turku, Finland. The residency programme aims to provide time and space for artists to focus on their work without the pressure of presenting a final production. However, if the artist wishes to share their work-in-progress in the format of a workshop, an open studio, a performance, a screening, or a talk amongst other forms, we are happy to help organise it.
