Dear Kiran Chandra & Antonio Vega Macotela. We are pleased to invite you to take part in the residence program; Letters written during a short residence in the two Swedish regions Västra Götaland and Halland. We ask you to visit us and be part of the exchange of experiences with people involved in the fields of intellectual, creative and educational practices living in the two Swedish regions Västra Götaland and Halland. We ask you to freely interpret the concept of creating a travel journal or a guide during your travel. We ask you to freely interpret the concept of creating a travel journal or a guide during your travel. The purpose for the residence is to connect different artistic, curatorial, pedagogical and educational practices and practitioners with each other.By playing with the genre of a travel journal, a guide book or road movie, we hope to open for new and unexpected understandings and possibilities for the regions, the inhabitants and for you the invited guests, in relation to different educational and artistic practices. The residence program is a performative program in its belief that through becoming is how we create the future. Through ongoing intra-actions we take active part in the molding and defining of the present and the still undefined tomorrow. The residence program hopes to, by taking the form of a documentation of a journey and a post produced publication of some sort, find new and exciting suggestions for the region’s future. We want you to be part of this specific journey with us.
