*State of being so divided: documents, memories and archives*



*CALL FOR APPLICATIONS! APPLICATION DEADLINE: 15th* *June*



*Vasl Artists’ Collective* and *Citizens Archive of Pakistan* announce a
call for applications to the 2011 Regional Residency program to be held in
Karachi between:



26th September to 5th November 2011



*State of being so divided** **will have a specific research focus, bringing
the participating artists together with writers, archivists and historians
to examine the events of 1947 and 1971, and conflict and civil war within
the Indian Subcontinent since Partition.*



We are especially interested in applications from artists whose work
involves historical analysis (particularly of the South Asian region),
practice-based research, and archival investigations – working in any
medium, (including, for example, painting, video, performance, sculpture,
writing and publishing).



The Citizens Archive of Pakistan (CAP) archives will become the artists’
research studio and CAP and Vasl will support their research. The archives
include oral histories, photographic documents, radio reports, and
newspapers from around the world that cover significant events in Pakistan
and South Asia. The artistic outcomes of this research will be displayed to
the public at the end of the residency, through a gallery exhibition in
Karachi, or via public interventions and performances.



We particularly encourage applications from artists living and working in
Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. If any artists outside this region wish to
apply, please indicate your interest in specifically examining South Asian
history, (along with any precedents in your work for this), in your covering
statement.



Accommodation, flights, materials and per diems will be provided to artists,
though any selected artists coming from Europe or North America will be
requested to fund their own flights.



*Applications must include:*



*Completed application form (attached).*

*Portfolio of images and/or links to video files.*

*Complete CV including passport sized photograph.*

*Covering statement (no more than 800 words) describing your interest in
this project.*
