Call for Applications: SchUM Artist in Residence 2024

Deadline: 30 September 2023

The City of Worms is offering up to three project fellowships for the realization of an artistic project that addresses the history of the ShUM communities and their religious, cultural, and architectural legacy. A public presentation of the completed projects (exhibition, concert, reading, performance, etc.) is intended. Required is an artistic approach to the ShUM legacy, taking into consideration Judaism’s ideas, history, and current position. During their stay, the artistic ShUM fellows are expected to allow interested visitors an insight into their work and concepts in a suitable form, e.g., in workshops or public discussions. Young people and schools will also be
invited, and an exchange of ideas with local artists and cultural institutions is desirable.

Applications must be submitted in full by email to David Maier PhD, Cultural Coordinator of the City of Worms: david.maier@worms.de
