updated 10 hours ago
Umetniški rezidenčni programi so skozi čas igrali pomembno vlogo pri omogočanju prepotrebne mednarodne mobilnosti umetnikov, njihovi profesionalizaciji in povezovanju. V zadnjih desetletjih so se močno razmahnili in postali sestavni del sodobnega kulturnega ekosistema. Ponudba programov, ki umetnikom omogočajo čas in prostor za raziskovanje, produkcijo ali mreženje na različne načine, je zelo pestra – ne le v svetovnem merilu, temveč tudi znotraj nacionalnega konteksta. Da bi povezala različne izvajalce rezidenčnih programov v Sloveniji, je Motovila februarja 2026 v Centru Rog organizirala srečanje, na katerem so izmenjali svoje izkušnje. Kdo so izvajalci, kako oblikujejo svoje programe v koraku s sodobnimi trendi in s kakšnimi izzivi se pri tem soočajo?

To connect the various organisers of AiR programmes in Slovenia, Motovila organised a meeting at Center Rog in February 2026, where participants shared their experiences. Who are the organisers, how are they keeping their programmes in step with contemporary trends, and what challenges are they facing in the process?
