Practitioners Programme

The PARSE Practitioners Programme provides artistic researchers space and time to research. Practitioners are invited by the PARSE working group, a team of people who represent the Artistic Faculty at the University of Gothenburg. Practitioners may be invited to develop a project of their choosing or to develop a response to a pre-defined research outcome established by the working group. 

The Practitioners Programme operates through two structures: the regional and the digital. 

The regional structure is orientated towards practitioners based in the Nordic Region. Practitioners are expected to prioritise research visits to Gothenburg to support the development of the project/response, allowing the practitioner to draw on the Faculty’s research specialisms and educational environment. It is expected that the practitioner makes at least one public presentation in Gothenburg. The format of this presentation is dependent on the nature of the project/response. Previous presentations have included: performances, lectures, talks, exhibitions, screenings. 

The digital structure prioritizes practitioners located a significant distance from Sweden as well as those who are unable to travel due to disability, caring responsibilities and visa complications. Practitioners work remotely through a digital residency format. This format seeks to digitally connect practitioners to relevant people/institutions in the wider PARSE network. It is expected that the practitioner makes at least one public presentation either digitally through the PARSE Platform or in Gothenburg (dependent on the nature of the project/response).
