The Ionian University is now presenting the last of three calls for TTTfellows: Art and Science Residency taking place on 23 September - 4 October 2024 (online) and 7-18 October 2024 (on ground) on the island of Corfu, Greece. 

TTTfellows, inspired by the thematics of the conference Taboo - Transgression - Transcendence in Art & Science, has opened a call for one scientist and one artist to collaborate in developing an Art & Science workshop / lecture performance and draft of a speculative piece proposal for publication / exhibit related to informal art & biology training for artists, philosophers and social theorists on the topics of human embryo implantation. How do fertilized embryos implant into the uterine wall? How does a body accept and feed this partial other being? How is this implantation achieved during In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)? The fellowship’s art and science research thematics have a focus on the artificial implantation of germline gene-edited interspecies transgenic human chimeras. We interpret the human chimeras from the perspective of Animal Studies, emphasizing on concepts of animal enrichment and ‘the animal turn’.

TTTfellows is integrated in the project Rewilding Cultures by the Feral Labs Network, co-funded by the European Union, aiming to bring together one artist and one scientist for one month of interdisciplinary friction and Ionian environmental immersion. Participants should be willing to contribute to the development of a local Feral Labs DIY Bio Hub i.e. presentation for graduate students; and drafting a speculative piece proposal for publication / exhibit to be included in the archive of the Ionian University. 

The organization offers accommodation in Corfu and a fee of approx. 1400 euros to cover expenses related with traveling and research to be processed after the completion of the program. Call for participants is open NOW until 6 June 2024.
