What is it about:

"A Journey from Dangerous to (Un)Safe" is an innovative interdisciplinary laboratory residency, designed to explore the intersections of urban life, city history, and critical infrastructure. Organized by VITSCHE e.V. and the National Institute of Architecture and Urban Planning (Narodowy Instytut Architektury i Urbanistyki) in Warsaw, this unique project will bring together three visionary artists based in Berlin, representing Ukraine, Poland, and Germany.

The residency will commence with a week-long laboratory and three weeks of collaborative group work, culminating in creating a soundscape for Berlin's iconic bus line 100. Participants will engage in five engaging workshops and lectures, led by prominent cultural figures from Germany, Ukraine, and Poland, delving into themes that explore the nuances of urban spaces, their histories, and the critical infrastructure that shapes them.
 

Who is it for:

This interdisciplinary laboratory residency is open to Berlin-based writers, screenwriters, poets, journalists, publicists, directors, researchers, and artists (individuals or duos) who are immersed in Polish, German, or Ukrainian contexts. The program offers a compelling opportunity for these creative professionals to contribute their unique perspectives and be part of a transformative collaborative project.

The selected participants will receive an honorarium of 1,300 euros for their participation and project creation, as well as access to a sound studio, with production costs covered by the project budget. This residency promises to be a rich and inspiring experience, fostering cross-cultural exchange and the exploration of innovative approaches to artistic expression within the urban landscape.
