The Vitality of Interdisciplinary Arts Collaboration thru E-Residencies During COVID-19

Name: Jojin Van Winkle
Department: Fine Arts
Type of research: Independent research

Abstract

Space and time to create are two of the greatest needs in creative fields of all kinds (arts,

sciences, and other fields of study). Artist residencies allow for concentrated and extended

time to devote to artistic practice.


Artist residencies exist around the world, enabling artists to connect with makers and

innovators from different cultures and creative disciplines. At residency programs, artists can share ideas, offer feedback to each other, and develop collaborations.


To recharge my own research and creative practice I participate regularly in national and

international residencies. With COVID-19 in-person residencies came to a sudden halt. In

response organizations developed e-residencies (online residencies).


During last May and June I participated in “Zero Hour,” a cross-discipline e-residency

facilitated by We Belong Here, an organization located in Leeds, UK. I teamed up with an

Israeli contemporary dancer, Tal Garmiza and UK-based, spoken word artist, Merrez Bal.


Together we created “This is My Effect from Cause”, a series of ten short videos, featuring our

writings and poetry focused on home and memory. We worked collaboratively, sending

materials across three time zones.


Our project will be presented in 2021 on a website which is being designed and facilitated by We Belong Here. During the e-residency I met UK choreographer, Balbir Singh. I connected the 2020 SURE grant Carthage student I mentored with the professional choreographers associated with the e-residency.
