What we do:
- We provide artists with accommodation, cover travel expenses within the EU, and refund the cost of production materials (the estimate is agreed upon individually). Residency does not cover daily allowance or meals;
- Each time, we suggest working with a specific theme;
- DOM Art Residence focuses on creating artwork and hosting a final exhibition;
- We do not set restrictions on media, but we acknowledge that we are not yet equipped to work with high-tech art;
- Communication is an essential value of our residency; we aim to facilitate new and exciting professional connections for the artists and expect their openness to communication with the local public;
- The residency will coincide with a group exhibition featuring artwork by artists-in-residence. For each residency, we create a cultural and educational program featuring resident artists and invited experts;
- There is no application fee;
- Currently, we do not provide visa support

In recent years, Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek has extensively explored the concept of the future and its current state. His approach is realistically pessimistic—humanity is moving fast towards various global catastrophes, whether ecological, nuclear, or of any other nature.
Despite being fully aware of this trend and able to predict consequences, mankind consistently continues following the same direction.
Many social scientists state that we currently exist in an era where optimistic scenarios for the future are exhausted, and we are only left with a variety of predictions perfectly consistent with the best of the best horror movie collection. Žižek believes that to alter the future, we must effectively work to change the past; we must act as if the catastrophe has already happened
that perhaps we have had no contact with intelligent extraterrestrial beings because, as "the dominant species on a relatively small planet developing their civilization toward multiple kinds of self-destruction (ruined ecological balance, nuclear self-annihilation, etc.)," we are simply not of interest to them. What can we do to earn their attention? The focus is on us rather than them. Are we capable of changing our future? How can we change the past (most likely by altering our collective memory)? We believe that artists could play a critical role in seeking answers to these incredibly ambitious and very relevant questions.
In one of his articles, Žižek writes
