„For the last 8 years my work has been based on research on Eastern Europe and decolonial options. I have gained knowledge and experience mostly from the decolonial movement, also from authors with ex-Yugoslavian and former Third World background, but my work context has mostly been the Baltic states. I am currently interested in subaltern histories of the Baltics, as well as in the concept of non-colonial Europe, therefore I see East Europe partly as a misleading concept that needs to be critically reviewed and unlearned.“ (Tanel Rander)

The format of this year’s residency programme responds to the need for curatorial residencies and encourages to explore the potential of curatorship.

The KAH residency programme aims to provide a supportive environment for critical discourse, curator-conducted research, its discussions within the framework of Kaunas, involving local artists, students, activists, academics and other city participants.
The KAH residency programme was launched in 2018 with the aim to present the most relevant contemporary artists, curators and cultural researchers working in Lithuania and abroad to the residents and guests of Kaunas city. The residency programme aims to foster intercultural, cross-institutional and cross-sectoral cooperation, to provide artists and cultural producers with the opportunity to become acquainted with the historical and cultural context of the city during their residency, to facilitate their cooperation with other artists or cultural producers and local communities.
