2025Open Call : TaiPing Art Hub Arts Residency Program

Since 2021, TaiPing Art Hub (hereafter referred to as “the Organizer”) has been based in the Tsan-Zi-Liao community in Keelung City, Taiwan, and has continuously engaged with issues of community co-creation and environmental sustainability. Keelung was one of the first locations to bring Taiwan onto the international stage nearly 400 years ago. The Town of Taiping (Tsan-Zi-Liao) community, where we are based, is located on the western hillside of Keelung Harbor. Tsan Zi Liao (tsan-á liâu) is a harbor-adjacent settlement and one of Keelung’s earliest developed areas. The term " Tsan-Zi (tsan-á)" comes from the Taiwanese Hokkien word for "fishing net," referencing the fishermen who once lived here and hung their nets to dry, giving the area its name. As time passed and harbor construction progressed, Tsan Zi Liao came to serve as a safe harbor for hardworking dock laborers who settled in Keelung. The community’s architecture and residents, shaped by the terrain and proximity to the sea, have together embodied a rich local maritime memory. In 2025, TaiPing Art Hub is launching its Open Call for Arts Residency under the theme “Maritime Memories.” We invite artists to reside in the community, explore its unique characteristics and historical narratives, and engage with residents through artistic creation. Artists will co-create a new chapter of maritime memories for the Town of Taiping (Tsan Zi Liao) community. The outcomes of the residency may also be developed into exhibitions or products themed around local culture. Through this process, artists will contribute both to community revitalization and the creation of site-specific cultural memory. For more information for Open Call , please refer to the application content.

ArquetopiaSUMMER 2025 International Academic Residency Program Metamorphosis: Adjusting in a New Tempo

ArquetopiaSUMMER is back!, our flagship residency, is an intensive international critical program aimed at expanding artistic practices through the application of new methodologies and innovative approaches. The goal is to recenter ethics in the process of creating images while rethinking creative practices through Arquetopia’s methodology and program framework, by intersecting academic knowledge, scholarly discourse, and local epistemologies. For its 15th anniversary, ArquetopiaSUMMER 2025 will focus on theme “METAMORPHOSIS: Adjusting in a New Tempo” to reconsider the power of rhythm within the creative process. As the world has changed, becoming more and more complex, we continuously experience the need to adapt, contest, and survive. What does it mean to be an artist in this unsafe modern world, constantly threatened by the rise of nationalism, environmental extinction, and oppression; particularly when knowing that our work will be appropriated by the narratives of power? Is it possible to interrupt that legacy of Empire and reshape the realm of possibilities of art? Over the course of this 4-week residency, participants will question images by engaging in a deep analysis of their practice through the lens of radical theory across research, production, and recontextualization. This residency nurtures interactions that stimulate artistic growth and collaboration among participants, blending critical methodologies with artistic practices, encouraging participants to challenge and question existing paradigms. Through engaging with various themes, conducting research, and encountering diverse voices, participants foster a vibrant exchange of ideas. For more information, please contact Arquetopia at: info@arquetopia.org. Join us this Summer 2025!
