Compare residency approaches in Yogyakarta, Jakarta, Bandung, Dubai and Doha through host institutions.
Choosing a residency starts with the kind of exchange a project needs. Cemeti in Yogyakarta emphasizes research and local relationships; Gudskul in Jakarta connects residency with collective learning. Alserkal's Dubai programme is research-led and currently operates by nomination, while Fire Station in Doha links residencies with artist development and public activity. Selasar Sunaryo in Bandung adds a historical residency archive rather than a current application offer. Use these five institutions to compare working contexts, then consult the host's programme page for current eligibility, support and application routes. An archived call is evidence of a past programme, not an invitation to apply today; fees and deadlines are therefore not reproduced here.
ResourceAlserkal Arts Foundation hosts research-led residencies at Alserkal Avenue in Dubai. The programme connects artistic and scholarly practice with local exchange and public programming. Its published residency page states that participation is by nomination, rather than an unrestricted open application.
ResourceGudskul is a Jakarta-based platform for collective learning and contemporary art. Its residency archive documents exchanges with artists and partners, including a 2020 collaboration with 32 Degrees East. The residency programme focuses on collaborative practice and community engagement; archived participant stories are distinct from current application announcements.
ResourceCemeti in Yogyakarta supports contemporary art through exhibitions, public programmes and artist residencies. Its residency programme emphasizes artistic research and exchange with local communities. The programme page distinguishes regular and independent residencies; historical application dates should not be read as a current open call.
ResourceSelasar Sunaryo Art Space in Bandung presents exhibitions and supports artistic exchange. Its archive includes an international artist residency application from 2004–2005, providing evidence of its residency history, not a currently open application. The institution's more recent exhibition documentation also records works donated by former programme participants.
ResourceFire Station is a contemporary art space in Doha supporting creative residencies and artist development. Its official site connects programme information, participating artists, exhibitions and public activities. Follow the programme pages for the scope of each opportunity and its current application process.
