Secondary Archive – Open Call for female artists from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Serbia and Slovakia


Katarzyna Kozyra Foundation (Poland) and the partners are pleased to invite female-identifying artists at the start of their careers to participate in an Open Call for Secondary Archive – an online archive of Central and Eastern European women artists.


The platform serves as an international source of information about female art from this region. It does so by collecting personal (artistic) statements from three generations of women born post-WWII and till late ‘90s/early 2000’s. So far, the Secondary Archive has had 4 launches and has gathered statements from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia; Belarus and Ukraine and Albania, Kosovo and Serbia.


The open call is organised for emerging, and early-career female artists to present their voices and perspectives. Selected candidates will be invited to write an artist’s statement in cooperation with the project curators. The result of this work will be published on the Archive’s website. Additionally, the jury will select one artist from each country (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia) whose vision and art practice will be encouraged with a cash grant of 500,00 euros. As for Visegrád Four and the previous three Balkan Partners (Albania, Kosovo and Serbia), the jury will select one artist whose vision and art practice will be encouraged with a cash grant of 500,00 euros.



WHO CAN PARTICIPATE: Female artists of all visual arts disciplines from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia or Albania, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Kosovo, Poland, Serbia and Slovakia, who were born after December 31, 1987.
