Fondazione Matera Basilicata 2019, in collaboration with the ten cultural and creative organisations selected through CALL 1, launches CALL 2 of the artistic residency programme “Terre Immerse – Euro-Mediterranean Creative Communities”, as part of Matera 2026 Mediterranean Capital of Culture and Dialogue.

CALL 2 is addressed to artists and creatives aged 18 and over from countries across the Euro-Mediterranean region who wish to develop a residency project in Matera, in collaboration with one of the host organisations, through a four-week continuous experience taking place between September and November 2026.

The programme promotes intercultural dialogue, artistic mobility and co-creation, enhancing Matera’s tangible and intangible heritage through original, site-specific cultural productions.
