Artist talk & panel discussion illustrated

November 2022

Only in English available

What are the reasons for going abroad as an artist or designer, how do you organise your travels and what do you need in preparation? Together with 3 artists who went abroad in 2022, partners such as Dutch Culture | TransArtists and Fonds Kwadraat we held an artist talk and panel discussion in English for and with artists and designers from Utrecht. Illustrator Katja Fred captured the talk in illustrations.
