R.E. Award Residency

The 2024 R.E. Award is a residency and exhibition opportunity offered by Project Space hazi (Aichi, Japan) in collaboration with Artist Support Project (Yogyakarta, Indonesia). Through residencies and exhibitions our initiatives have fostered the community, the land and the people where artists from diverse global localities share knowledge and skills. We invite artists and collectives to apply with the aim of transcending cultural and national boundaries, encouraging artists to explore new forms of expression informed by a “three-point perspective”—your own and those of Hazi and ASP. We hope this collaborative initiative serves as a catalyst for inspiring fresh viewpoints in contemporary art, from the places you call home and beyond.
