galang residency
Established in 2023, the galang residency program supports First Nations artists and creative practitioners to undertake residencies at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris.
APPLICATIONS CLOSED
‘The galang residency provided the rare commodity of time with little distractions, while supported and surrounded by creativity and space to discover the innovative mindset potential we all have. The opportunity is of endless possibilities that enable residents to realise their superpower to influence their discipline and interests to create change.’
Powerhouse Parramatta in partnership with the Cité internationale des arts (Paris) are proud to present the program again in 2025, offering two First Nations creative practitioners based in Australia an opportunity to travel to Paris for a 3-month residency hosted by the Cité internationale des arts.
The program is open to First Nations creative practitioners working across a range of disciplines including, but not limited to, visual arts, design, weaving, performance, dance, music or writing. Applicants must be 18 years or older and be an Australian citizen or resident with a valid passport.
The residency includes return economy flights to and from Paris, accommodation in Paris at the Cité internationale des arts and per diems for food, project materials and travel within Paris.
TWO RESIDENCIES WILL BE OFFERED IN 2025
- 3 June – 28 August 2025
- 3 July – 29 September 2025

‘The residency gifted me access to institutions, industry professionals, different cultures, a broader understanding of systems outside of the Australian continent, and global connections unlike anywhere else. Most of all, the residency gave me the opportunity to learn, experience and connect, and to see what it means to create bridges of language cross culturally.’
