The CommonLAB 2025 residents are in Cologne!
africologne is part of Common Stories, a European cooperation project on questions of cultural diversity in changing European societies. We are delighted that eight selected artists from the Common Stories Residency 2025 are now guests in Cologne. From 3 to 14 June, there will be a varied program with workshops, city explorations, theater performances and individual rehearsal phases. Common Stories develops new European narratives and promotes diversity in the performing arts. The residency in Cologne is part of an eight-week, transnational program that has already made a stop in Lisbon and will continue in Cairo and Bobigny in autumn ….
