What chances does the principle of solidarity have in view of the challenges caused by the pandemic and what role do borders play in this? With our festival SHARING ACROSS BORDERS, we are taking a critical and artistic look at this topic. We take a close look at cultural, physical and political borders.
Over the course of three days, SHARING ACROSS BORDERS brings together internationally established artists with emerging local talents.
Artists from four European countries came to Cologne in September 2021 to strengthen the strong exchange between cultural workers across borders – especially now. In this context, five young artists from NRW presented their project ideas in the pitching format SHARING IDEAS on two afternoons. The international artists of the studiotrade network presented performances, a late night movie and there was a two-day outdoor workshop.
The festival is planned in this form every two years.
