Nabi Artist Residency 2023

Art Center Nabi is pleased to resume the annual Nabi Artist Residency program dedicated to fostering innovation and creativity at the intersection of art, technology and society. Nabi Artist Residency is a platform that supports artists from diverse cultural backgrounds to explore their ideas and connect with fellow practitioners at the heart of Seoul.

Through Nabi Artist Residency 2023, Art Center Nabi seeks to inhabit realms beyond the limits of technology and of types of knowledge circumscribed in technology through mobilizing socio-cultural exchange. As part of Art Center Nabi’s long-term research project East meets East, this residency aims to provide a fertile ground in which active engagements in defining and shaping ways of seeing, feeling and acting through the lens of ‘East’ take place.

Collaborating with Misk Art Institute this year, Art Center Nabi welcomes the participation of many enthusiastic artists interested in the program.
