In July and August, the artists of Artist Meets Archive #5 will start their residencies in Cologne. Lana Mesić, Maria Trabulo, Viktoriia Tymonova, and the duo Juana Awad and Luisa Ungar will engage with the archives and collections of the Archiv der Fotowerkstätte Schmölz, LVR-Landesmuseum Bonn and FrauenMediaTurm Köln, Greven Archiv Digital, and the Deutsches Tanzarchiv Köln, to develop new artistic perspectives. The resulting projects will be presented at the next Photoszene Festival in May 2027. In August, two public conversations offer an early opportunity to get to know and meet the artists:
