About Nest Art Residency

NEST is a one-of-a-kind art residency program for mothers in Germany that celebrates the intersection of art and motherhood.
It’s a space where artists who are also mothers come together to explore their creative talents while embracing the beautiful complexities of raising children.

Nest. Maternar en Residencia / Resistencia is an artistic residency designed explicitly for artists who are also mothers alongside their children. Its primary goal is to provide a platform conspicuously absent from existing offerings, fostering solidarity among artists who often end up isolated and alienated from existing artistic structures due to having a family.

Through an open call, four mother artists’ proposals will be selected for the residency, allowing them to develop new works or advance existing projects, ideally involving themes of motherhood and/or their children. The focus here is on creating art that requires motherhood, not despite it.

The artistic residency is a month and will occur in July 2024 in a beautiful house in Coswig (Anhalt), about 100 kilometers from Berlin. This space offers a large garden, multiple workspaces, and proximity to the Elbe River within walking distance from the residency.
