“Learning Exchange Residencies occurs in a post-pandemic, post-brexit atmosphere where artists face increasing barriers for traveling and connecting with other creative communities. In situating artists within the port of Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe, the Paviljoen plays host to questions around community and globality while making space for alternative ways of living and gathering to be explored.”
