The Call for Ideas Is Open!
We’re delighted to announce the six new mentors and open call for applications for the tenth anniversary edition of Forecast Mentorships.
Artistic practitioners and cultural producers working in all creative fields, anywhere in the world, are encouraged to apply to Forecast’s international mentorship program with projects that could benefit from the expertise of one of this edition’s mentors and their unique approach to material and knowledge production. The call is open to applicants of all ages and does not prescribe a theme. The only requirement is to submit projects that are relevant to the expertise of the mentor you wish to work with.
Send us your project ideas for the chance to work with one of the following mentors: fashion designer Hussein Chalayan (Cyprus/UK), vocalist and composer Elaine Mitchener (UK), performer and theater-maker Lulu Obermayer (Germany), artist and filmmaker Ruth Patir (Israel), video and installation artist James Richards (UK), and electronic musician Sote (Iran/USA).
The mentors in Forecast Mentorships’ 2025–26 edition use modes of defamiliarization in their work, expanding the tools and mediums they work with to generate new propositions. By conceptually and technically alienizing familiar creative possibilities, they each venture into uncharted realms in their own practice.
As Forecast marks its tenth anniversary edition, for the first time an alumna of the program will serve as a mentor: theater-maker and performer Lulu Obermayer, who participated in Forecast 5.
The deadline for applications is 11:59pm CET on Monday, February 10.
