Scuola Piccola Zattere welcomes applications for the selection of two participants in its fellowship programme, taking place as part of the institution's third season of activities, titled Living Document. The open call aims to select two fellows who will carry out their artistic and/or research practice for three months at Scuola Piccola Zattere in Venice during one of the following periods:

*Early January – early April 2027
*Mid-April – mid-July 2027

The international fellowship is intended for artists and cultural practitioners—including curators, researchers, architects, choreographers, performers, and writers—working outside the Venetian area, both elsewhere in Italy and internationally. It offers dedicated time and space to focus on ongoing research and projects, while engaging with the Scuola's artistic community and experiencing Venice's rich cultural landscape. The season 2026-2027, titled Living Document, will focus on:
• the practices that revisit or reactivate archival traces, regulatory documents and principles, revealing their nature as living, processual, and constantly evolving devices;
• the rule as a generative tool of customs, collective rituals, and games, but also as a constraint to be circumvented in order to disclose unexpected possibilities;
• the forms of aggregation, conflict, and negotiation that characterize social dynamics, examined through the relationship between space and the body, architecture and performativity, instruction and action.
