Zu Gast
Jahrgang 2019

The 2018/2019 residencies focused on artists whose work examines the relationship between identity and territorial ascriptions. Urbane Künste Ruhr investigated these themes in a range of formats in 2019.

The twelve month residencies were awarded to the artists Wasim Ghrioui (Syria) and Mohamed Altoum (Sudan). These residencies are associated with the Silent University Ruhr, a multilingual network of refugee academics supported by Ringlokschuppen Ruhr. Those active here have already been working for years on permitting the expertise of refugees in the region to be heard. The working base for these residencies was in Mülheim an der Ruhr.

The three month grants are linked to the KunstVereineRuhr. The guests were Stacey Gillian Abe (Uganda), Céline Berger (France), Jan Brokof (Germany), Achim Lengerer (Germany), Viola Relle and Raphael Weilguni (Hungary/Germany), Matshelane Xhakaza (South Africa), Paul Wiersbinski (Germany) and Katrin Winkler (Germany).

Unna

Begleitet wird die Grand Snail Tour von Künstler*innen aus dem Bereich Literatur, Fotografie und Zeichnung, die zeitgleich zum Aufenthalt des Tourmobils, Eindrücke und Reflexionen aus jeweils derselben Stadt sammeln und diese sie visuell oder literarisch ins Bild setzen. So entsteht ein Paratext zur 3-jährigen Tour, der in Form einer Reisechronik, ein Kaleidoskop an Geschichten, Verbindungen, Momentaufnahmen in den 53 Städten der Region als Gleichzeitigkeiten und Ungleichzeitigkeiten zur Grand Snail Tour sichtbar werden lässt.
