Collide Geneva
Residency opportunity for Geneva-based artists
This award, funded by the City and Canton of Geneva, celebrates Geneva as a consequential meeting point for arts and science throughout history, highlighting its unique role in the founding of CERN back in the 1950s. Geneva-based artists complete a fully-funded residency of up to three months at CERN to further their artistic practice by immersing themselves in the world of particle physics. Collide Geneva and Collide Pro Helvetia alternate yearly.
