International workshops

International workshops aim to share knowledge and experience between artists of different backgrounds.

Sometimes these workshops are connected to a residency program, sometimes they are organised incidentally. Special attention is paid to the collaboration between the participating artists.

Workshops usually last no longer than a few weeks. In some cases only artists from a specific region may attend.
