LABA Barcelona open call 2025

Application for LABA 2025 fellowship program is now closed.

Application dates: October 21st- December 5th, 2024.

 

LABA brings together artists from all backgrounds and disciplines to study classical Jewish texts, experiment, and explore the futures of Jewish art and culture. LABA is a non-religious house of study whose goal is to function as an international incubator for creativity and to push the boundaries of what Jewish art can be, and what Jewish texts can teach. We also fold in secular literature, music and art to help us better see the timeless and radical elements of these texts.

Every year, LABA selects a group of ten fellows for a year-long study, centered around a chosen theme. Through the LABA fellowship, fellows are provided an open and creative setting for the thoughtful study of Judaism’s rich literary and intellectual tradition. These creative explorations inform their art and ideas, and are presented through live LABA events around the city, and in the LABA Journal online.

LABA Barcelona, located in “Casa Adret” (in the heart of the medieval Jewish quarter), is part of an international network of LABA hubs – The first LABA program began in New York in 2007 and has since grown to become the only large-scale and international incubator for Jewish arts in the world. Currently, there are five hubs: New York, Buenos Aires, San Francisco, Berlin, and Barcelona.
