About the call
(Re)Grounding is a programme of research residencies exploring the climate emergency in post-industrial contexts and connecting practice, heritage and communities between the UK and Ukraine. It was delivered by D6: Culture in Transit and IZOLYATSIA as part of the UK/Ukraine Season of Culture by the British Council and the Ukrainian Institute.
Ukrainian artists were invited to apply through an open call that has now closed; two artists were selected, Alexandra Krolikowska and Karolina Uskakovych. The residencies were first planned for Soledar in eastern Ukraine but moved to D6's studios in Newcastle, North East England. The page gives no dates, deadline or financial terms.
