AIR Wro consist of, among others, study visits for cultural operators from Wrocław and Lower Silesia. One of them will be organised in Danish Aarhus, a city that celebrated the title of the European Capital of Culture in 2017 together with Paphos in Cyprus. Thanks to the cooperation with AABKC (Aarhus Billedkunstcenter) and the Danish Cultural Institute in Warsaw, we will host Sophia Ioannou Gjerding in Wrocław in December 2018. During her visit, she will focus on the research related to the World Congress of Intellectuals in Defense of Peace organised in 1948. On the other hand, Dominika Kluszczyk – curator, manager and producer working at the WRO Art Center and IP Group – will go on a study visit to Aarhus.
