Residencies as a stage for cultural exchange
Residencies are in step with the times and are highly coveted among artists. They allow a concentrated period of development away from familiar surroundings. Moreover, they offer a chance for new impressions, inspiration, and the growth of one‘s professional network. New ideas are born out of exchanges with local artists and curators, and from here new projects can be developed and realised. The Goethe-Institut has made the promotion of cultural exchanges one of its aims. Residency programmes for international artists help achieve this aim. Nordic Leipzig does not merely bring Scandinavian artists and their German contemporaries together, it also offers participants from Scandinavia the opportunity for cultural exchange amongst each other.
