Practising Togetherness – Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art

In March, we invited Palestinian artists to apply for the open call for the Practising Togetherness artist residency at the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art in Warsaw. Among the many applicants, Essa Grayeb was selected. We also appreciated the commitment with which they prepared their applications: Nisreen Yaseen and Mohanad Smama.

Projects developed within the Ujazdowski residencies often take an intimate, small-scale form, unfold over time, and remain open to process, uncertainty, and failure. While working at Ujazdowski, residents draw on its resources and engage with the surrounding environment, frequently uncovering new meanings through attentive and context-sensitive approaches. Projects developed in collaboration with artists, researchers, and local communities create a space for experimentation, knowledge exchange, and shared experience, both within Ujazdowski and beyond its walls.
