The Call for artists is open to all artists from the project partner countries (Italy, Belgium, Slovenia, Hungary). Artists are invited to respond to the call by submitting their applications by April 23, 2023.

Shaping The Future is a European project, co-financed by Creative Europe, the European Union's programme which aims to promote the capacity of artists to imagine and reinvent the future through the visual arts, design and cross-critical thinking.

The Call for artists is open to all artists from the project partner countries (Italy, Belgium, Slovenia, Hungary). Artists are invited to respond to the call by submitting their applications by April 23, 2023.

The 16 selected artists will participate in a 4-day training to be held in the period July 2-8, 2023 at the Aldo Galli Academy in Como.

The training includes 32 hours of workshops and project consultations with expert mentors István Keszei, Blaž Miklavčič, Francesco Pusterla and Bart Vandeput. The workshops will focus on some key areas linking digital practices and materials, such as 3D computer graphics, 3D scanning, digital fabrication, physical computing, generative processes and artificial intelligence.

During the development phase, the artists will be supervised individually by international experts providing them with tools, technical equipment and software. All works produced will be co-funded by the Shaping the future project.

The result of the project will be a physical exhibition of digital works to be held between April and May 2024 in Brussels.

Shaping the Future is a project of the Aldo Galli Academy of Fine Arts- IED Network, the Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design and Cityfab 1, each of which works in the field of design, education, promotion and support of visual artists.

If we can’t shape multiple visions of the future, we won’t be able to change it.
