Artistic residencies and intercultural projects can be more than temporary trips — they can become deep processes of discovering one’s identity, exploring geopolitical tensions, and learning about everyday forms of coexistence. The discussion focused on what it means to work in a transcontinental context — the risks involved, the opportunities it brings, and the questions one should ask before writing the first line of a script.
Central to the conversation were topics such as the body as an archive, working within local contexts, and ways to avoid superficiality in projects based on exchanges between the Global North and the Global South.
Dr. Małgorzata Miśniakiewicz spoke with Oliwia Bosomtwe (writer, author of Jak biały człowiek. Opowieść o Polakach i innych / Like a White Man: A Story About Poles and Others), Márton Gábor Csaba (project coordinator of Deconfining, Pro Progressione, Hungary), and Roland Jacek Chojnacki (Director of the Department of Cultural Diplomacy and Promotion of Poland).
