transcultural art lab 2018

The TRANSCULTURAL ART LAB (TAL) is a collaborative residency program that brings together young artists from the South Caucasus and Germany on the German island of Juist.

50 ambitious young creatives, aged between 18 and 27, are invited from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Germany as well as from the regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia to the German Island of Juist. During a two-week workshop the participants together investigate the idea of ‘utopia,’ – the unreachable good place – through cross-cultural dialogue and creative imagination.

TAL seeks to be a space where young artists can take the lead in artistic collaborations that redefine how relationships are shaped by political conflicts, war, and cultural difference.
