As part of this year‘s festival, NORDWIND and Kampnagel are offering two artistic residency scholarships for projects that deal with the topic of national borders and migration history(ies) and focus on the search for home, identity and identity transgressions.

The scholarships are aimed at tandem partnerships bet- ween artists from Hamburg and the Nordic countries and aim to strengthen the international networking of the Hamburg scene and create sustainable connections. At the end of the residency, there will be public showings by both tandems.

Zandile Darko (Hamburg) & Therese Ramstedt: BE MY GUEST With jumping-off points in waffles, watering systems and a cappella; Zandile Darko and Therese Ramstedt dive headfirst into the flavours and sensations of ‘home’. Their evolving project BE MY GUEST invites unapologetic exploration of what it means to be at home, and is based around the idea that the perception of home is heightened when we share a personal space and assume the role of host (or guest). Five years since the production of their first stage collaboration Fall Prettier (2019), a reimagining of the Medea myth, Darko and Ramstedt reunite to ask themselves: Where are we in life? As makers, practitioners, women, mothers, as human beings – can we truly separate work and home? Do we even want to? Through their joint practice rooted in movement, voice and vulnerability, the artists wish to informally invite audiences and each other into their respective homes to explore these questions together.
