Residency

Regular

The Regular Residency is Cemeti – Institute for Art and Society's annual residency programme, taking place over a three-month period from March to May. Each residency hosts one or two Indonesian artists alongside one international artist. The participation of international residents is made possible through partnerships with funding organisations that support the residency, including travel, accommodation, and other programme-related expenses.

Confirmed partner organisation for the 2027 Regular Residency:
Mondriaan Fonds (the Netherlands), supporting artists based in the Netherlands. Eligible artists may apply through the open call administered by Mondriaan Fonds.

Research

The Research Residency is a research-based residency programme organised by Cemeti – Institute for Art and Society. Unlike the Regular Residency Programme, it is not centred on the production of artworks or a final presentation. Instead, it provides artists with the time and space to deepen their research process as an integral part of their artistic practice.

Entering its third year in 2027, the Research Residency continues to grow through collaborations with international partners. The programme was first launched in 2025 through a partnership between Cemeti – Institute for Art and Society, the Institut français d'Indonésie (IFI), and Cité internationale des arts (France). In its second year, the programme expanded through a partnership with the Singapore Art Museum (SAM). With support from the SAM Fund for Arts and Ecology, the residency also introduced an open call for artists based across Southeast Asia.
