Hestia Art Residency & Exhibitions Bureau is an independent multidisciplinary visual art space devoted to the exchange of knowledge, experience and thought amongst cultural practitioners in order to further research, present and develop projects about contemporary issues and artistic practices with a focus on, but not exclusively, what is defined as the Global South.

It is located in the centre of Belgrade. The name comes from Hestia, the Greek Goddess of hearth, domesticity and architecture; being a residency and having a fireplace in the space representing this on a symbolic level.

The space includes a residency, a library accessible to all visitors and an exhibition space. With a program of residencies, exhibitions, talks, film viewings,workshops and multiple other events, our mission is to create and put forward ways of thinking related to contemporary visual culture and issues related to the less canonical references and the Global South.
