︎︎︎Residency at R-Urban!


We’re starting a new residency programme at R-Urban!

We are offering a free workspace for three months to artists, designers or makers working with urban ecologies, food, community activism and/or circular material practices of innovation, repair or reuse. 

Initially we are offering one residency period in Spring 2025 (February – April). Applications are open to individual practitioners and those working collectively (up to 4 people). 





What we can provide

Dedicated workspace (5.5m x 2.4m). Access to site amenities including kitchen, compost toilet, workshop space and classroom. You’ll have use of the space as and when you need, 7 days a week from 8am - 6pm.  

We share our site with five partners so use of workshop and classroom needs to agreed in advance.

We are offering space but are not currently in a position to offer a stipend.

Workshops need to take place at some point during residency and will be hosted with support of R-Urban team.
