On-site Residency

The residency programme is shaped under the tenets of ‘Explore, Create, Exhibit’. As part of the residency program, 13 international artists, with diverse social and geographical backgrounds, receive curatorial support, technical support and develop their work in a dynamic community. Simultaneously they will get to know a new culture and landscape, gaining influences from Berlin, which is renowned for its contemporary culture.
