Online launch of Station to Station #4

Gamechanger is the theme of this edition: we believe that residencies can be powerful agents of change. We invited guest authors who are advocating for structural change and are all taking steps to create a more sustainable, inclusive and fair art world. They are working in and with artist-in-residencies from Argentina to Kenya, and they speak from their respective practices as researcher, artist, residency organizer, designer and curator. With Station to Station #4 they present a kaleidoscope of imaginative, thought-provoking practices.
