Palimpsest project launches a call for artists, designers, (landscape) architects. 

JOIN THE CREATIVE DIALOGUES – Open Call! 

The @PALIMPSEST project is a new Horizon initiative that aims to harness the power of creativity to tackle environmental problems affecting landscapes. 

The call will be open until September 18th 2023, invites creative agents to submit their proposals about three pilot landscapes: Łódź in Poland, Jerez de la Frontera in Spain, and Milan in Italy. 

If you are interested in submitting a candidature, please visit the project website for more information and read the full call announcement! 

@PALIMPSEST Project is a unique opportunity for creative agents to experiment and make a real difference in the world. 

This open call invites creative minds interested in working with us in 3 exemplary landscape laboratories: 

  1. Łódź (PL), a UNESCO city of films with a unique industrial heritage, fighting against multiple pollution problems (water, air, and soils) while regenerating the industrial urban landscape to give birth to a new urban.  
  2. Jerez de la Frontera (ES), an Andalusian wine cultural landscape challenged by the competition for land use between agriculture, tourism, and energy production. 
  3. Milan (IT), focusing on the water landscape around the “invisible” river Lambro shaped by ancient irrigation practices emitting from multiple water sources, and nowadays also struggling with threatening water scarcity issues. 
     

In each landscape, PALIMPSEST promotes collaborative experiments grounded on design, art practices, and architecture. We are looking for 3 creatives who will join us in the design, organization, and development of two residential workshops (one in 2024 and the second in 2025) in the pilot landscapes of their choice.   On these occasions, design, art practices, and architecture will dialogue with place-specific needs and broad systemic challenges to imagine a new future for these three landscape laboratories.
