Artistic exchange across (social) borders is also shaped by factors both seemingly trivial and profoundly consequential: personal, temporal, or financial resources can influence a project just as much as a visa that was not granted. But what approaches exist to deal with these challenges in artistic projects as well as on political or legal levels? Gwen Lesmeister and Roberto Hacaturyan will discuss strategies and experiences in addressing these issues.

Gwen Lesmeister is part of Theater X, a CommUNITY theatre in Berlin-Moabit conceived and run through co-management between young people and team members. Roberto Hacaturyan is responsible for the South Culture Fund at artlink, which supports cultural practitioners from Africa, Southeast and Southwest Asia, Latin America, and Eastern European non-EU countries in accessing the Swiss cultural market.

Spontaneous participation on site is possible at any time. Participation via Zoom is also possible with prior registration via this link.
