Intimate intensives, monthly micro-residencies, independent research anywhere
Our programme is built around your practice and intensive residencies which offer opportunities to meet other established international artists, curators and writers.
Participate in annual international intensives, retreats and pop-up events, attend monthly translocal weekend sessions, presentations, symposia, fora, colloquia, research seminars and topical workshops, screenings, cultural excursions, talks, and peer presentations.
Transart provides a unique entwinement of live and translocal intensives and academic support. Work independently with dedicated advisors and develop your independent creative praxis alongside other international advanced practitioners.
Low-residency Practice PhD
Our Practice PhD is for everyone with a specific research project or question/s they want to examine in order to bring their creativity to the highest level. The Creative Research PhD is self-directed, creative project-based research, to which writing is an integral contributor, culminating in the submission of a thesis, which may include a presentation, an exhibition, a publication, reading, performance, screening, or other forms of dissemination. In this creative research doctoral program, your creative work is the research.
Check out our 2021 Translocal Intensives and public talks.

About Transart
Transart Institute is a space for experimentation and thinking in any form, for sharing and connecting, and offering practice-based doctoral studies in a low-residency model. We champion self-directed, curious, flexible and independent-minded creative researchers working solo and/or collectively.
Our border-free platform attracts an eclectic international body of students and advisors from equally diverse artistic and academic contexts and geographic locations as part of a global, transdisciplinary research community; creating opportunities to expand, enhance and sustain individual and collective practices in the world, beyond the walls of the academy.
We support research on themes in all creative genres including art and social technologies; curatorial practices; cultural engagement through food; docufiction and creative writing; ecology and environmental activism; expanded studio practices; experimental pedagogies; fashion and textiles; foreignness, otherness; home, nostalgia and the uncanny; international diaspora and exiled states; language and image; liminal states, interstices, and spacetime; media and design; memory, forgetting, trauma and the archive; movement, dance, choreography; new materialism, object-oriented ontology; olfactory arts; peace, mediation and performative activism; post-nationalism, post-colonialism; publishing as an art practice; robotics; sound, music, field recordings, composing; space and temporary architecture; walking as an art practice.
