In the organizer's words:
The Arbeitskreis Deutscher Internationaler Residenzprogramme (ADIR) invites you to the first nationwide conference of international residency programs at the ZK/U - Center for Art and Urbanistics in Berlin.
For the first time, residency programs based in Germany will come together to exchange ideas, learn from each other and develop joint perspectives for the future.
Under the title Creative Shelters auf Zeit, the conference will focus on residencies as spaces of protection and opportunity for artists. How can they offer security, enable international mobility and at the same time respond to social, political and institutional challenges?
The conference will kick off with a keynote by literary scholar Rachel Cohen (University of Chicago / American Academy in Berlin Fellow 2026). The rest of the day will be characterized by thematic sessions, collaborative work and open formats, creating space for networking, knowledge exchange and new collaborations.
Participation is also open to interested parties outside the ADIR network. The purchase of a ticket to cover catering costs is mandatory.
