For the 2019/2020 edition, the focus was on artists whose work deals with ‘climate’ in the broadest sense, the thematic bracket of Ruhr Ding 2021.
The twelve-month residencies were awarded to the artist Euridice Kala (France/Mozambique) and the photographer Mohamed Altoum (Sudan). Altoum was already a scholarship holder of Zu Gast bei Urbane Künste Ruhr the previous year. Both residencies were linked to the joint Silent University Ruhr project launched in 2015 by Ringlokschuppen Ruhr in Mülheim a. d. Ruhr and Urbane Künste Ruhr.
The three-month residencies were linked to KunstVereineRuhr. From July to September 2019, Nastassja Simensky from England and the Japanese-German duo Kyoco and Nico Alexander Taniyamaan came to the Ruhr region. From October to December 2019, Ana Alenso from Venezuela and Marianna Christofides from Cyprus were guests. From January to March 2020, Angharad Williams from Wales and Etienne Dietzel from Germany were at home in the Ruhr region. Jackie Karuti and Thomas Taube came to the Ruhr region from April to June 2020.
