The aim of the cooperation project zwischen__räumen // między__miejscami, conducted by STUDIO2 Berlin and Materia, Lodz, is to combine the working experiences and methods of the participating artists and cultural organisations in Poland and in Germany. The mutual exchange from different perspectives will enable the artists and organisations to expand their knowledge of what sustainable transnational support structures for artist residencies can look like. Each residency project should therefore include some participatory sequences based on the individual approach of the artists in residency, such as but not limited to public sharings, discussion rounds, digital publication, or workshop formats. 

Moreover, there will be a joint conference on the 20th of October in the Academic Design Centre, Łódź, which shall give the artists the opportunity to reconsider the work process during the residencies and get into an exchange with the other residents and the participating organisations.

The programme is a cooperation of Materia in Łódź, and STUDIO2 of the International Theatre Institute (ITI) in Berlin. It is funded by the Foundation for German-Polish Cooperation.
