From 1 March to 31 May 2019, Cemeti in collaboration with Mondriaan Fund again held the Artist-in-Residence Program, Period # 1, 2019. The residency program developed by Cemeti continues the main idea of creating a connection between art and society by encouraging an open process for residency artists to develop work ideas, conduct research and knowledge exchange, and connect artists with various local networks that support collaborative work. For three months, the residency artist will feel the nuances of the new interaction space and explore the social field with the Cemeti team and residency program assistant, Muhammad Tomi.
