AXIS OF PRAXIS residencies The Axis of Praxis residency programme offered possibility to research and develop work in and between two distinctly different contexts within Estonia, between MoKS (located in a village in rural south Estonia) and Ptarmigan (in the capital city of Tallinn). Although both cultural centres operate in contrasting environments, we share an interest in exploring and engaging with the places and communities that surround us. Axis of Praxis is a residency opportunity aimed at utilising these similarities and distinctions, as well as helping to build connections between the two organisations. Artists, organisers, curators and researchers of all artistic and creative disciplines from Nordic- Baltic region were eligible to appy. This was two month split residency: one month in MoKS, one month in Ptarmigan. Residencies were Funded by Kulturkontakt Nord, support module for Artist- in- Residency Centers. Artists received free studio and accommodation, stipend 700â‚Ź per month and travel costs covered. MoKS offered 4 residencies.
