The residency exchange for graphic designers specializing in artistic printing has been organized for five years. Thanks to it, Maja Dokudowicz, Natalia Tarnawa, Katarzyna Roman and Dominika Ziober-Król could already work in Germany. According to residency terms, the selected artist will receive accommodation, work space and allowances, including travel costs and purchase of materials.
