Final Event - Rotterdam Residency

Final Event - Rotterdam Residency
Saturday 14 October, 14:00 – 18:00
Boijmans Zuid, Hillevliet 90, Rotterdam, Netherlands

During this festive event, we celebrate the experiences and learnings of the two-month residency on collective healing. You can see the artworks that have been created during the residency, as well as the work that was created during the festival week. All participants can reflect on their learning, and how this learning relates to common ways of depicting war, oppression and exile. There will be space to talk to the residents, and through food and music there will be many opportunities to connect to those present at this final event.

This event is part of the Rotterdam Residency. In a two-month residency, a small group of international artists and researchers have investigated the role of art in collective healing from war-related trauma. Diala Brisly, Cindy Horst, Daria Pugachova and Khalid Shatta have collectively created a space to explore the results of this residency at Boijmans Zuid. The group of artists and researchers aims to exchange with and learn from audiences in their final festival week.

The residency is run by the Peace Research Institute Oslo through the INSPIRE project. It is supported by the Goethe-Institut, Verhalenhuis Belvedere and Boijmans Zuid. Read more about the residence here.
