Artists in Residence

Artists are the seismographs of our time. They reflect on social events and create artworks even before certain topics enter the socio-political mainstream. Or they help us place events in a better historical context. This is precisely why SQUARE invites artists as part of the "Artist in Residence" program—to broaden our horizons and practice adopting different perspectives. This happens through interventions, discussions, art appreciation, and much more. The program is made possible by the Hirschmann Foundation.
