First Edition in Spring 2025 in Trier, Germany
The program is hosted by Marie-Luise Meister, funded by the European Union and supported by the Goethe-Institute. Marie-Luise Meister is a transdisciplinary artist with a professional background in theatre and project management, focusing on media arts and composing with a body-based research practice. Collaborators on this project include the Department of Art and Design at the University of Applied Sciences Trier, curator and co-founder of the Collective Rewilding Sabina Oroshi, and the Palais Kesselstatt (a.o.).
Fluid Materialities emphasizes the interconnectedness of all lifeforms of life, asks about the agenda of non-human beings, listens to the stories of things and materiality, and creates space for collective consideration and reflection on coexistence and diversity in an ever-changing future. Engaging with nature, materiality, AI, and ecology in non-human-centered creative processes, understanding art as an ‘ecology’ in which relationships and interactions are central, the residency fosters a collaborative environment and integrates individual artistic work and research with a reflective structure that examines our roles as artists within a capitalist system that often disregards the importance of bodily intelligence.
