You are not alone.

I've had 20-30+ rejections for every positive response in art.

It feels so personal, but it's not.

The last residency I applied for had over 600 applicants.

It feels like wasted work, all that writing proposals. But it helps you understand your motivations.

Antidotes that work for me:
Collaborate
Join a collective
Organise a show
Make art
Try again
Walk

Good luck.

The artistic reality.

Spent the day researching philosophical aspects of the narrative self, and scouring the internet for information and opportunities in Porto.

Now I'm tired, and demoralized.

Onde estão as oportunidades artísticas no Porto?!

But I know a bit more about philosophy of memory.
