The Ambassadors of the artistic dialogue

In each of the three years of cooperation, one artist from the University of Visual Arts (HGB), Leipzig, will receive a scholarship that enables them to study at one of the Arab partner universities over a period of five months. In exchange, one artist from one of the Arab states stays in Leipzig to be a guest student at and Ambassador to the HGB.
As guests, they will be able to get an impression of the professional and artistic development during their five months stay at the cooperating universities.
At regular intervals they'll report about their impressions and experiences on a web page, presenting themselves and those of their individual projects that were realized during their stay abroad.
