SANSUSĪ is what?
We support and promote contemporary performing art and music. We introduce contemporary arts to new audiences. We educate our audiences through new experiences. We give artists the possibility to perform what they desire. We continuously rethink what an artist residence is. We grow towards community well being. We look for ways on how to connect and engage artists with communities. We improve ways on how art and culture can be made through the experience and exchange between an artist and another human being or collective.
We redesign what a concert or festival means. We look for new forms, shapes and spaces in artistic culture, production, design. We continue to re-arrange and re-create what we have found and developed. We learn to fill spaces with inclusive experience.
Support artists in residence
Sansusī might have a couple of residing artists during the summer. They develop their own ideas and work with local communities. They might need technical support. Or might want to cooperate with others. Or might need anyhting else.
This trully comes in different forms and shapes and cannot be predicted. They also might be people who don’t talk or engage with volunteers or others.
One year we were building an outside structure from peat blocks. It was beautiful fulfilling and exhausting. It’s still with us. Slowly growing into a forest.
Your own project
We trully look for those who want to create. Either it’s performance, theatre, poem, audio piece, sculpture etc. There are many forms.
You can go solo or collaborate with those around you. Explore. Let surroundings bring more to you. Experiment. Find new ways for self and expression. Practice. Share what you create.
p.s.You do not need to be an artist or identify as one to be able to create.
We are looking for people who:
+ 18-30 year old
+ motivation to learn, initiate, and get involved in the activities of Sansusī (artist residence, local community, contemporary arts festival, other music & arts events)
+ education, experience or at least real interest in the field of arts and culture
+ optional local volunteering experience in other organisations
+ interest in social inclusion and civic society
+ being ok with flexible working hours
+ not afraid to try new things to do and learn (or at least ready to try even if you are afraid!)
