Eligibility:
This call is for projects that investigate disciplines such as design, art, architecture, urbanism, economics, film, photography, journalism, digital media, environmental sciences, philosophy, engineering, social studies, political science, programming, materials science, activism, or any other field that aligns with the residency's goals.

Rewards:
Medialab technical and administrative team will be available to respond to your needs and doubts. We will encourage you to establish an ongoing dialogue with the curatorial team and, in particular, with Medialab’s lead curator, who will do their best to provide you with local and international support, theoretical reflection and concrete feedback, according to the needs of your project.

Projects in residence must establish links with other Medialab Matadero activities. They must show their capacity to transform and enrich themselves in dialogue with other initiatives, residents, agents, communities, and the general public.
