In 2026, we are launching a new series of DFEWA Artists Residencies in Dresden, offering international artists the opportunity to develop their work, explore new creative paths, and build meaningful professional connections. The DFEWA Residencies are designed to foster interdisciplinary exchange and provide a supportive environment where artistic processes can unfold freely. Each residency offers individualized guidance, professional support, and opportunities for public presentation. The entire program is organized by DFEWA e. V. Dresden, Germany. The curators of these residencies are Dorothea Fleiss ( Dora von Grosskarol) and Susanna Fleiss.
