MORPHO
Exchange residency
The Exchange residency for international artists welcomes six residents per year. In addition to a studio in the monastery and a monthly work grant, they also have a bedroom in the residency. The house, in this way, is really lived in, where local and international artists share common spaces, creating a dynamic interaction between their experiences, ideas and contacts.
