Zu Gast Jahrgang 2024
© Daniel Sadrowski
For 2024, Urbane Künste Ruhr is awarding six research stays for guest artists for three months each in Dortmund, Duisburg and Bochum.
During their stay, they will develop a context-specific project that will be presented to the public in an exhibition in 2025. The guest artist programme is aimed at artists and collectives who are interested in working in the Ruhr area and in a contemporary perspective on the region and its themes.
The programme was implemented together with the regional cooperation partners Stiftung Geschichte des Ruhrgebiets and Stiftung Industriedenkmalpflege und Geschichtskultur and with different focal points.
Artists and collectives were able to submit their context-specific project via an open call until 31 March. A total of six positions (two per focus) were selected from the submissions by an expert jury.
