MiXER 2020 - collaboration based residency

FOSTERING CREATIVE BOLDNESS, RISK AND INNOVATION

DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH COURAGE TO COLLABORATE?

MiXER is a cross-disciplinary collaborative “playground” / experiment where artists from different art-forms and cultural backgrounds are encouraged to engage, share methodologies and inspire each other. With the task of working together artists are given the opportunity to regenerate their creative dynamism, exchange and develop new ideas. Experiment with no fear of failure and thus assess their own artistic processes – learning valuable insights from other art forms.

WHY MiXER?

MiXER is a independent and flexible 3 weeks programme with a structured outcome. The selected artists from diverse artistic disciplines are paired up to work collaboratively on a new body of work.
