INTER(RELATION) PATH through Spain, Poland and Germany (2024)
About INTER(RELATION) PATH
INTER(RELATION) PATH is an innovative project designed to create a more inclusive society through the power of art and cross-border collaboration. Our mission is to harness artistic research and residencies to foster social inclusion, intercultural dialogue, and youth empowerment. By facilitating meaningful interactions between refugees and local communities in Spain, Poland, and Germany, we aim to break down barriers and build understanding.
The project is carried out by the staff of the three participating organizations and by the following outstanding artists: Noelia A. Ferreira from Spain, Kamil Druk from Poland and Jannik Trapp from Germany. These artists accompany us throughout the entire process and will be in charge of working side by side with the immigrants and with locals in each stages of the project.
Here’s how we are doing it:
As part of the INTER(RELATION) PATH project, a Study Visit was held in Berlin from February 28 to March 2, 2024, bringing together artists and organizers to explore migration as a catalyst for social inclusion and intercultural dialogue. This visit, facilitated by Lernlabor, focused on understanding migration through both personal experiences and broader geopolitical contexts.
Participants engaged in a simulation workshop led by Mohamad from Refugee Voices Tour, envisioning a future Europe shaped by radical political shifts. The group also visited key exhibitions, including “We Call it Revolution” at FHXB Museum and “Echoes of the Brother Countries” at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, deepening their understanding of migration from local and international perspectives.
This visit marks the first stage of a journey that will continue with a residency in Spain and a final exhibition in Poland.
As part of the INTER(RELATION) PATH project, a two-week residency took place in Soria, Spain, focusing on the themes of migration, integration, and social cohesion through artistic research and production. Building on insights gained during our Berlin study visit, artists engaged with Soria’s rich history and current challenges.
Soria, known for its poetic landscapes and the historic resistance of Numantia, provided a powerful backdrop for this residency. Through collaboration with local NGOs and collectives, participants deepened their understanding of migration and the ongoing struggles within the city, including depopulation and generational divides.
With the support of the Soria City Council, the selected artists—Noelia A. Ferreira (Spain), Kamil Druk (Poland), and Jannik Trapp (Germany)—created impactful urban interventions addressing these gaps. The artworks produced during this residency will be showcased in Poznan, Poland, starting May 24th.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for the “INTER(RELATION) PATH” exhibition. Titled “Bridging Absences,” this exhibition provided a powerful exploration of migration, social inclusion, and intercultural dialogue, emphasizing the importance of connection and understanding in a divided world.
The exhibition featured the collaborative works of Noelia A. Ferreira (Spain), Kamil Druk (Poland), Jannik Trapp (Germany), and Natalia Juszkiewicz-Wrotek (Poland), whose artistic contributions enriched this international project.
