Werkschau: Artists In Residence

For the second time, Musicboard Berlin invites to Werkschau: Artists in Residence. In 2019, Musicboard granted eleven international residencies to Berlin musicians. In Salvador de Bahia, Detroit, Los Angeles, Tehran, Havana, Marseille, Paris, Panicale, Calcutta and, for the first time, in Manila and Kampala, Berlin artists from a wide range of pop-cultural scenes had the opportunity to find inspiration and develop their artistic skills.

Transnational residencies offer artists a precious space in which they can explore and develop their own work, away from the pressure of production and commercial exploitation. They also create the opportunity to engage with other musical cultures, to immerse themselves in local communities and to question their own habitual perspective. Not only do these personal encounters create lasting points of contact in the world, but also produce new shared knowledge and cultural sensitivity. These artistic processes will be presented with the second Werkschau.
