Who/ what are we looking for:
The Overkill in collaboration with ARE is looking for a playful artist reflecting on the role of play in an activist environment and within digital culture, fitting the theme of this year festival “Radical-Joy-Resistance”.
We are looking for an artist or a game maker using its medium to support movements of resistance. May it be very specific and applied to a cause or in a broad sense and linked to research.
The selected artists will work closely with the team of curators of The Overkill festival, Marie Janin, Aike Lütkemöller, Zuraida Buter and Erik Peters.
The Project will be showcased at The Overkill festival in November. The artist is expected to join the festival as much as possible and in multiple ways with extra possibilities to host workshops, give a talk, participate in LARPs etc.
Dates:
Residency: September 12 to December 6, 2024
The Overkill festival: November 20 to 24, 2024
