| In September 2021 we realised our first ever fully digital Res Artis conference, hosted by SAC Gallery, Bangkok, and generously supported by ASEF culture360; KONNECT ASEAN, ASEAN Foundation; Goethe-Institut Thailand; Japan Foundation, Bangkok, and Casa Asia. Titled Defining the Next Decade, the conference examined the tremendous impact of COVID-19 and the future of the international arts residencies field. We hosted over 80 speakers from diverse corners of the globe, including our own Eliza Dawson (Executive Director, Res Artis), Mami Katsuya (Program Director, Kyoto Art Centre, Japan), Jongsuwat Angsuvarnsiri (Managing Director, SAC Gallery, Thailand) and Valentina Riccardi (Associate Director, Asia-Europe Foundation, Singapore).
We welcomed 211 attendees from 49 countries for the two week program. By hosting a fully online conference we were able to extend our reach, welcoming participants from all corners of the globe.
We hope we can continue our work to strengthen and rebuild the international arts residencies landscape together. Full program details can be viewed on our website. Stay tuned for recordings of the program, coming soon!

| Res Artis is excited to announce our 2022 conference How to inhabit instability? hosted by IZOLYATSIA in cooperation with Ukrainian Institute, House of Europe and Goethe-Institut Ukraine in September 2022 in Kyiv, Ukraine. In recent years, instability has been increasingly becoming the norm of our lives. Uncertainty about the future of the planet, confused governments, and, most recently, the inability to counter the spread of COVID-19 have shown that the concept of “sustainability” needs to be revised globally. The 3-day meeting will address the overall theme of the conference: 'How to inhabit instability?'. While describing the current state of affairs in the world, this theme also reflects the Ukrainian condition and we believe that Ukrainian residencies will have a lot to share about their experience of coping with instability and finding ways to live and act in it. Moreover, it raises questions about the precarity that most independent artists and culture workers around the world are facing these days. The conference will offer delegates multiple opportunities to connect with the local art scene and will include visits to the art residencies in the Kyiv area, studio visits to meet artists and view private collections, as well as curated city tours. Watch this space for more details to come! |
