Residency Program: Exploring Echoes

Exploring Echoes: Multiple voices, parallel stories

The Residency collaboration between HELLERAU, Pochen Biennial (Chemnitz), WRO Art Center (Wroclaw), Jam Factory Art Center (Lviv) and Center for Urban History (Lviv) is committed to the artistic and discursive exploration of local and transregional interdependencies within the cultural landscapes spanning Germany, Poland, and Ukraine.

Thematically, the artistic investigations of the invited artists deal with (media) representations of “border experiences and situations” emerging within socio-political challenges and developments of these regions. Conceptually, this delves into ethical, physical, and mental boundaries, including how individuals set limits in interpersonal relationships to safeguard well-being and define autonomy. Collaborating with invited artists, the attention is on contemporary events and their cultural and societal dynamics.
