2. How will the role of artist residencies change in the post pandemic world; looking at the importance of failure and adaptation when faced with new opportunities?
3. Will digital residencies become more legitimate forms of creative and intellectual exchange between artists and institutions? What are some of the new formats that have been tried and tested?
4. What have we learned since the instrumental shift from the physical space to the digital sphere? How have artists and residencies navigated this extreme change?
5. How can art institutions serve their communities without leaving anyone behind in this hyper-engaging and fast-developing digital world?
6. In times of uncertainty, how can art institutions still be creative and innovative?
7. In what way has the responsibility of the role of residencies changed since the pandemic?
