Diala and Khalid

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.
