As part of Museum of the Commons, L'Internationale's project aimed at mobilising art and culture as strategic tools for fostering a more sustainable and responsible arts ecosystem, Museo Reina Sofía calls for two research residencies linked to the Climate strand of the project. This strand addresses issues related to the current global climate crisis, the sustainability of institutional, artistic and cultural practices and processes, and the urgent need to transform our policies, societies, cultures and ways of life towards ecologically sustainable models.

Each residency is granted a stipend of 5000 € and has a duration of 4 months. The research project does not require continuous on-site presence at the Museum and may, where appropriate to the needs of the research, be carried out in other locations.

Some of the research lines proposed under this call include:
- ecological, social and political sustainability of the cultural sector: tools, gestures, strategies and archives;
- artistic and cultural research in times of climate crisis: new imaginaries, affects, languages and practices;
- experiments in institutionality, architecture and organisational models from an ecological perspective;
- research on food sovereignty, climate diasporas and migrant climate communities; and experiences involving gardens, community allotments and community kitchens, as well as the shared use and common ownership of natural resources.

Applications may be individual or collective and may be submitted in either Spanish or English. Applications must include: curriculum vitae detailing the applicant’s professional background and experience relevant to the call and research proposal (3000 words).

Applications must be submitted electronically through the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía’s Electronic Office, accessible at www.museoreinasofia.sede.gob.es.
