France | 2024–25 Sound Art Residency at musée du quai Branly

As part of the Sound Art Residency, the museum will finance a work of sound art that may enter its permanent collection. The jury will give precedence to pieces conceived in connection with the museum’s collections, interests and theme. 

For the Sound Art Residencies, the musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac is collaborating with Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains who will host the artist for two work sessions and provide technical support for its production and post-production.
