Artist Programme
Ama 5 Button Photoszene

Artist Meets Archive kicks off its next edition! In 2026/27, the unique residency and exhibition program by Internationale Photoszene Köln will take place for the fifth time. Together with various archives and collections, we once again invite artists to delve into diverse photographic holdings, stories, and discourses and to develop their own projects.

The application portal will open on January 5, 2026. The cooperation partners of Artist Meets Archive #5 will be announced here on December 15 – stay tuned!

The program is generously supported by the City of Cologne, the Ministry of Culture and Science of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Kunststiftung NRW, and Sparkasse Köln/Bonn. Thank you!
