Description

The year-round residency program is the heartbeat of daily operations at PACT Zollverein. Established in 2002, it offers artists and cultural practitioners from around the world a space to develop artistic projects and productions.

In conjunction with the "Stage," "Urban Space," and "PACT·LAB" areas, the artist residency center serves as a hub for interdisciplinary practice and artistic exchange. At the end of the residency, there is an opportunity to present the projects developed during the stay in the form of an open studio or showing. However, this is not a requirement; the focus remains on the artistic process itself.
