WELCOME 2026/27 | 1 Sept. at IKOB, Eupen (B)

The next edition of the BORDERLAND RESIDENCIES is just around the corner, and excitement is building! Over the next three months, more than 22 international artists from 16 residencies will come together. Through a series of engaging field trips, they will explore a unique European centre of three peripheries where major economic upheavals, societal developments, and ambitious visions for the future converge. We warmly invite you to join us for the programme launch on Tuesday, 1 September 2026, at IKOB in Eupen, starting at 12:00. Following a guided tour and lunch, this year’s hosts and artists will introduce themselves and share exclusive insights into their upcoming projects. To wrap up the day, we would love for you to join us for dinner.
We would be thrilled to celebrate the start of this new cycle with you!
