The week-long, interdisciplinary summer academy in Libken is an invitation to live and work together as artists, detached from familiar surroundings and structures. This is the ninth year that the Summer Academy has taken place in the Libken artists' residence, a prefabricated building with a large garden in the Uckermark countryside.

The theme of this year's summer academy is The collective space and the I - an approach using the artistic practices of ceramics, photography, painting, performance, text and dialogue. How do we want to and can we work and act artistically today in a time of cultural cutbacks, war, climate crisis and social polarisation?

The summer academy at the Libken artists' residence sees itself as a laboratory, experimental space and collective place to think and work in the Uckermark - in the countryside of eastern Germany. In a region characterised by ruptures, reinterpretations and contradictory social experiences.

Concept and organisation: Sophia Kesting in cooperation with Susanne Kim and Katharina Reinsbach
