Residencies

Several people with and without wheelchairs move through a room. The picture is in black and white.

The methods, concepts and formats developed are unique in their innovation and lay important foundations and impulses for a sustainably inclusive art and cultural landscape.

Un-Label also supports artists in the realisation of their own creative projects. We make this possible with our own artist residencies, which we implement as part of the Laboratory for Inclusive Culture (L.I.K.) right in the heart of Cologne-Neuehrenfeld. We also regularly collaborate with partners from the network to support their residency programs and anchor the topics of accessibility and the promotion of artists with disabilities deeply in the cultural scene.

With the Laboratory for Inclusive Culture (L.I.K.) and the artist residencies, a central hub has finally been created in Cologne that connects artists with disabilities from a wide range of disciplines and provides them with financial, personnel and logistical support to realise their ideas. And the best thing is: with the Un-Label Studio, there is now also a place where this art can be created and presented! Artists with disabilities are given the opportunity to devote themselves to their creative work over longer phases. One focus is on interdisciplinary and intersectional collaboration as well as the development of new inclusive approaches.
