Residencies at M-Cult

Vallila Residency 

Currently M-Cult hosts a residency apartment in the Vallila neighbourhood, gifted by M-Cult's former director Minna Tarkka. The apartment has one room, a kitchen and a bathroom. We use the residency apartment in multiple ways:

• We organise residencies within M-Cult's different programming strands and support artists' research and production.

• We run exchange residency initiatives with international partners.

• M-Cult's members can use the apartment for their working periods in Helsinki or for their collaborators.

• The residency is also made available to other organisations, initiatives and individuals who need to stay in Helsinki, at below-market rent.

Please get in touch if you need a residency apartment in Helsinki. We prefer stays of at least one month, but shorter periods can also be discussed.

History

M-Cult has worked with artist residencies throughout its history, offering opportunities to artists working with media, technology and socially engaged practice. 

These residencies have been there to offer space for research for new works and produce new inventive artistic projects, many times in connection with communities and groups in Helsinki. These residencies have resulted in multiple new connections to local and international contemporary art fields, and artworks produced and presented locally and internationally with our partners and beyond.

Residencies have been organised within many different programming strands such as EMAP European Media Art Platform, Maunula Collaborations, and Central Park Commissions and Archive.
