International exchanges and artist’s mobility are at the core of Kooshk’s projects. For the exchange programs they do not enter the conversation with the artist, but with the international art residencies, and in collaboration with them they shape a mutual plan to provide the facility for both Iranian and foreign artists to have the dialogue and thought exchange together in a specific period of time. Based on this program, the selected artists from Iran and other country get connected together and start a dialogue and collaboration together. Each program consists of two parts. In the first part the one-month-residency will be held in Iran and the second one in the selected art residence’s country ( or vice versa) with a gap of 2-6 months in between. This will be the time when both artists will be in contact together, working in distance. The selection of artists will be based on open call and by the jury team, consisting of Kooshk and the foreign organizers.
