*Flux Factory *is excited to announce an open call for New York
City-based artists and curators to participate in *A New Future Residency
Exchange*, a new initiative to strengthen collaboration and build
relationships between the US and 9 post-Soviet countries: *Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Ukraine, *and*
Uzbekistan*.

Through this open call, *seven* New York City-based artists and
curators will be in residence at host organizations in post-Soviet
countries from *November 2026 – July 2027*. *A New Future* builds a
long-term, artist-driven network connecting artists and cultural
practitioners in the US and post-Soviet countries. These exchanges provide
artists with time, space, and a collaborative environment to develop new
work while engaging directly with local communities and cultural contexts.

Each residency will be tailored to the interests and needs of the
participating resident and host organization. Residents will have the
opportunity to conduct research, create new work, and share their work with
the local community.
