Residency
Residency Artistique JamSalam 2026 - Senegal call
Fully covered 15-day pan-African artist residency in Morocco, with airfare, lodging, meals, local transport, possible production materials, Forum participation support, exhibition and certificate; no cash stipend is published. JamSalam offers meaningful in-kind support and a rare pan-African collective residency for young artists, with travel, lodging, meals, production help and exhibition visibility. The opportunity also imposes unusually broad rights and image-use commitments, including transfer of patrimonial rights in at least one work for bank use and auction. Because the call is closed with no public selected roster, this should remain a staged, review-only dossier until the official outcome is published.
