The Moving Image Laboratory is aimed at the Azorean community interested in cinematic arts and seeks to encourage the creation of artistic video works.
Applications are open to people born in the Azores as well as to Portuguese nationals and foreign residents living on one of the nine islands of the archipelago.
Over a 3-month period (July to September), the residency programme provides a theoretical approach and practical mentoring.
In 2026, João Onofre is the invited artist for the theoretical component. Onofre works mainly with video and performance. In his work, he explores the relationship between art, culture, and society, questioning the transformations and tensions that emerge from this intersection. Practical mentoring is provided by André Laranjinha, a visual artist based in São Miguel, where he works across cinema, video, visual arts, graphic arts, and illustration.
Participation in the Laboratory is free of charge.
Meetings will take place across Arquipélago – Centro de Artes Contemporâneas, vaga – espaço de arte e conhecimento, and the Public Library and Regional Archive of Ponta Delgada.
Applications must be submitted online via the official form by 11:59 pm on 20 June 2026.
