Merian Institute for Advanced Studies in Africa (MIASA)

Accra, Ghana

The MIASA Artist Residency, hosted at the University of Ghana in Accra, offers artists the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration with scholars and researchers. This three-month residency program focuses on sustainable governance and associated themes such as peace, democracy, migration, human rights, and African cities. Artists from diverse creative fields (visual, performing, digital, and textual arts) are invited to contribute to ongoing research and scientific discussions, while allowing the arts to enrich and challenge traditional academic perspectives. During their stay, artists are expected to interact with fellows and the broader academic community at MIASA. The residency is fully funded, providing a stipend, accommodation allowance, and project funding.
