The V&A is inviting applications from UK based and international early - mid career sound artists and artists with an interest in sound who wish to develop their practice through working with the V&A's Middle Eastern collections, specifically the Iranian, Afghan and/or Central Asian material, and by engaging in the public participatory programmes that the Museum runs. The Residency will be based in the Sackler Centre for arts education at the V&A, and is part of a wider residency programme in partnership with the Exhibition Road Cultural Group (ERCG).

It will take place in London over a six-month period from January June 2012.

Closing date for receipt of applications is Saturday, 20 July 2011.
