The new society that formed in the protest summer of 2020 in Belarus is today exposed to a politics of revenge. The dictator in Minsk imprisons, tortures and kills. The Russian author Alisa Ganieva talks to fellow writers Viktor Martinovich (Belarus) and Ostap Slyvynsky (Ukraine) about how they perceive their own and each other's situation: Do they redefine their role as intellectuals in troubles communities, rethinking the relationship between the poet and the power? How do they cope with increasing fear and intimidation—and how to reconfirm values such as freedom, responsibility, and truth?

The Artists Are Present – Artist residencies in cultural exchange
Digital ADIR symposium
Recorded event from 23 June 2021 (in German language)

During the Covid-19 pandemic, residency programs for artists have proven to be very effective and viable structures for international cultural and knowledge exchange. As laboratories for a change of perspective, residency programs often serve as models for the question of how we want to live together.
Cultural and knowledge exchange thrives on polyphony and diversity. How can this be guaranteed in the long term? The presence of artists on site is indispensable for interactions in culture and society. How can the mobility of artists be preserved—even in times of crisis?

The ADIR brings together representatives of around 20 institutions active in Germany and abroad. About the mission of ADIR and its members: http://www.kuenstlerresidenzen.de
