(UN)LEARNING DISTANCES - Showings
Digitales, internationales Residenzprogramm
4 continents – 9 countries – 17 residents – 5 teams
Overcoming distances, broadening perspectives, learning from and with each other: (UN)LEARNING DISTANCES is a digital, international residency programme between artists from North Rhine-Westphalia and other parts of the world who have shared their knowledge and entered into a common artistic dialogue in a joint working process in digital space.
After a four-month digital working process, the following residency teams will present their artistic works in Dortmund:
