Habib Sharifi Scholarship
Healing souls by supporting the creations of uprooted artists
Green Season: Show to benefit the creation of uprooted artists
The Habib Sharifi Scholarship
Following the death of the French-Iranian poet and academic Habib Sharifi in March 2021, a scholarship was founded in his name at the instigation of his family for artists singled out by the ordeal of exile and uprooting, in partnership with the Gondishapour association. In addition to his writings, Habib Sharifi was a music lover and aesthete. This is why all the arts find their place within the projects, whose signature remains the watermarked reference to a composition by the author in each edition.
What makes us an opportunity
Artistic accompaniment
Following a selection process carried out by a prestigious jury, the winners benefit from a framework of creative assistance: coaching, advice, collaboration with members of the promotion and associated artists, programming of cultural outings, etc.
Sponsorship
The selected artists receive remuneration and accommodation in Paris for a four-month residency in order to carry out the project for which they have been accepted.
Dissemination/ Representation
The grant offers the winners the opportunity to be commissioned to create a work that will be performed, exhibited, broadcast and promoted through our partnerships with cultural organisations. This allows them not only to be honoured for their art, but also to be eligible for new encounters and opportunities.
NO ART IS TO BE NEGLECTED
The various programmes of the Habib Sharifi Bursary reserve a special place for each mode of artistic expression: live performance, music, poetry, plastic arts and photography are also considered and are the subject of actions specific to each of them. Our objective is to promote, without exclusion, talents that are unknown, passionate and in search of excellence.
Circle of Patrons
Supporting the Habib Sharifi Scholarship and the Gondishapour Association means helping the discovery of talent from all over the world, enabling artists to make a living from their productions and to give the best of themselves.
The Habib Sharifi scholarship is eligible for sponsorship. French tax residents: contributions benefit from a tax reduction of 66% for individuals and 60% for companies. A tax receipt will be sent to you at the end of the year.
