Futures Research Residency in Amsterdam

The Futures Research Residency is a self-directed residency for photographers, artists, writers, researchers, and curators working within the field of photography and image-making. Based at the Futures Hub in Amsterdam, the programme offers residents a private working and living space, dedicated research time, contextual grounding, and connection to the wider Futures ecosystem.

Situated within the FUTURES headquarters, the Hub provides residents with a base from which to engage with Amsterdam's photography and contemporary art scene while developing their work within an international network.
