Artists in residency in Germany

Deadline: 15 January 2020

The Atelier Josepha invites visual artists/writers/composers to spend three weeks in fall 2020 in Ahrenshoop, Germany. There are two consecutive single residencies within the period of September to December. The Arts Residency Atelier Josepha promotes critical reflection on both historical and current circumstances of the Baltic Sea Region. The residency stands in a tradition of cultural cooperation and exchange within the region. It is also inspired by the need to reflect on our mutual environment and shared seas – both as forces of nature and in their increasing vulnerability.

Theme
The Baltic Sea is a small ocean that occupies large spaces in the history and collective memories of its coastal communities and nations. Its history is characterized by continuous exchange and close cultural integration. During most of its history, the shared ocean has had more impact on the development  of culture and cultures on its shores than the hinterland of nation states. However, a look at the past also shows that only collective management and the creation of a shared identity can counteract ruthless exploitation. In this sense, Atelier Josepha creates a space of encounter with cultural and natural treasures, but also with the current and past burdens and challenges of the Baltic Seaand its shorelines countries.

No entry fee

- stipend of EUR1,500.
