Cáceres 2031 has opened a call for artist residencies today. This initiative forms part of the conceptual framework of Cáceres’ bid to become European Capital of Culture 2031. The program seeks to create spaces for encounter, movement, and care where European artists work alongside local communities to create, research, and share creative processes.

The Cáceres 2031 European Capital of Culture Consortium will set up the Office for Cultural Activation next year, which will operate as a permanent regional structure.

Iris Jugo, coordinator of the Caceres Capital of Culture 2031 Consortium, sent us this article which we are happy to publish in full.

Cáceres’ bid for European Capital of Culture in 2031 has opened the public submission period for artistic and cultural projects.

The general coordinator of the Cáceres European Capital of Culture 2031 Consortium, Iris Jugo, has traveled to Malta with the aim of establishing synergies and studying joint projects with the places in this country that—like Cáceres—are bidding for the European Capital of Culture 2031 title. With this visit, Cáceres becomes the first Spanish city to develop a mission in Malta within the framework of these bids.
