PRAKSIS
PRAKSIS
PRAKSIS is a transnational platform for art, research and learning based in Oslo, Norway.
The organisation was established as a charity in 2015. They connect diverse artists, thinkers and publics to Norway’s creative ecology via thematic programmes that focus on urgent issues of our time. Dedicated to inclusivity, they seek to inspire and support artistic creation, bringing new creative networks and communities into being. Their core activities include organising and running artists’ residencies, staging public events, youth programming, online and in-print publishing, and recently they launched a podcast.
PRAKSIS places peer-to-peer dialogue at the heart of its approach. Their projects respond to the needs and concerns of creators, art professionals and socially-oriented organisations across borders and disciplines. Since PRAKSIS’s founding in 2016 they’ve worked with over sixty partners ranging from national museums, universities and leading art centres to wrestling clubs and autonomous activist networks.
PRAKSIS aims to demystify cultural production. Their public programming offers insight into creative processes and debates, seeking to enable the widest possible engagement with creative practice.
A comfortable apartment is provided for residents not local to Oslo to share - of course each resident gets their own room. Local residents travel from home to join the residency community.
From March 2016 PRAKSIS will collaborate with existing organisations to run a pilot programme of short-term, "pop-up" residencies in Oslo where the facilities and programme offered reflect the theme of each residency.
