The scholarship is aimed at people who have a cultural idea, such as art, music, research, etc, related to the UNESCO World Heritage list and are interested in connecting the World Heritage site Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland with one or more sites around the World culturally or artistically.
The award consists of 4 weeks of residency at one of Halsingland’s listed Decorated Farmhouses and also includes a scholarship of the equivalent SEK 50,000 to cover living/work expenses for a suggested project.
The scholarship is international and can be applied by people from all over the World, such as artists, researchers or other cultural actors. Last year, more than 300 people from 58 different countries applied. The artist Paul Wiersbinski from Berlin became the 2024 scholarship holder for his project “The perfect House”. The project connected the World Heritage sites Decorated Farmhouses of Hälsingland with the German World Heritage site Berlin Modernism Housing Estates in an artistic film interweaving urban Berlin with rural Hälsingland. The project was inspired by the idea of navigating through a perfect house and making an aesthetic connection to the historical memory.
