Project meet-up at the Crespo Foundation

Last week, we welcomed all the funded projects from the Next Steps programme at the Crespo Foundation in Frankfurt and spent a day full of vibrant encounters, creative impulses and new connections.

The goal was to network, learn from one another and collectively ask: What moves me in my artistic practice? What challenges me? What perspectives connect us?

After a warm welcome from Hanna Knell (Crespo Foundation) and Madeline Ritter (Bureau Ritter), we dove into various formats:
– A joint warm-up
– Project presentations through personal “finds”
– Fruit salad chopping as a round of exchange
– Inputs on solidarity and barrier-free production

In a relaxed yet constructive atmosphere, a productive exchange took place, characterized by mutual respect, curiosity and the creative energy of the Hessian dance scene.

We thank all the funded projects and the speakers Anikó Rácz and Nadja Dias for this powerful gathering and look forward to everything that will emerge from it!
