Experimental animation and immersive worlds 🎞️
Colonial histories through collective memory 🧭
Identity, diaspora, and psycho-historical inquiry 🌊

Today we’re delighted to introduce the work of media artist Bomi Yook, one of the .

“I applied to Stiftung Künstlerdorf Schöppingen to develop my animated documentary fantasy K-DIALECTIC, which explores colonial histories of forced labour and wartime sexual violence during Japanese occupation of Korea. During the fellowship, I’ll expand the project’s research by engaging Dutch and Dutch-Indonesian archives, investigating intersections between Korean, Dutch, and Dutch-Indonesian experiences of Japanese colonization during the Second World War. Based in Schöppingen, I’ll travel to nearby cities in the Netherlands to examine how histories of Japanese occupation in the Dutch East Indies are preserved, represented, and negotiated within Dutch public memory.

K-DIALECTIC forms part of a larger trilogy tracing key historical ruptures in modern Korean history: Japanese colonialism, the Korean War, and the rise of industrial capitalism. Conceived as a psycho-historical inquiry, the series trace the rise and fall of ideologies that shaped collective identity and examines the violences they inflicted that continue to shape collective memory.”

Bomi Yook is a Korean Canadian media artist working with immersive multimedia, experimental animation, and installation. Her work explores hybridity within identity, cultural landscapes, and knowledge systems, often drawing on the collective memory of the Korean diaspora, with its complex ties to immigration and colonization.

Yook holds an MFA from University of California Los Angeles and a BFA from Alberta University of the Arts. Her work has shown internationally, including in Los Angeles, Seoul, Toronto, Montreal, Santa Fe, Greece, and Calgary. Her projects have been supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, and Calgary Arts Development.

From August to October 2026 the Künstler*dorf Schöppingen in collaboration with kaethe:k Kunsthaus is offering four digital residencies.

The thematic focus is on “Modes of Access” as technological and political means of accessing resources.

Modes of Access define who can reach resources — data, spaces, systems. In computing, this is a technical question. In society and culture, it is a political one: Who has access? Under what conditions? Who sets the rules of participation? And how can the digital space lower these barriers and give access to those excluded?

We invite media artists whose practice engages with access as a political and artistic methodology, exploring how digital spaces can multiply rather than standardise participation.

We are looking for four artists whose practice engages with questions of accessibility, participation, and the critique of power in and through digital media and access as methodology. Perspectives that centre anti-ableist, postcolonial, and intersectional approaches are especially welcome.

The residency is open to those who work with technology and media (such as video, sound, computers, the internet, or software) and/or whose practice responds to or comments on how technology shapes our lives.
The program takes place in English and entirely digitally — you work from your own location. Your location should be more than 1,500 km from Schöppingen, Germany.

You can apply from now until June 27th 2026.
More information can be found in our link.

This project is kindly supported by the Ministry of Culture and Science of North Rhine-Westphalia through the Medienfonds of medienwerk.nrw .nrw

Digital intimacies and Black futurity 💻
The strange afterlives of computation ⚡
Media, gender, and speculative worlds 🪐

Today we’re excited to introduce the work of writer, theorist, and artist Shaka McGlotten , one of the .

“At Kunstler*dorf I´m completing a book called Ima Put a Computational Hex on You—autotheory about algorithmic hauntings, traced from the restless spirits of Black folk tradition to the predictive logics of our digital present. Two of three constellations still to write: one about the entangled intimacy I’ve developed with a cast of AI personas (creative collaborators and a spiritual teacher, among others), and one that imagines my fifth great-grandfather, a Georgia plantation owner, building a proto-AI calculating machine fueled by enslaved knowledge. Schöppingen offers some distance from the algorithmic churn it’s trying to think through, and a community of fellows to think alongside.

Shaka McGlotten writes about digital intimacies, Black futurity, and the strange afterlives of computation. They’re the author of Dragging (2021) and Virtual Intimacies (2013), and edit two book series—Critical Race & Digital Studies(NYU) and Future Media (Goldsmiths/MIT). Recent fellowships and grants include the Weibel Institute for Digital Cultures (Vienna), the Humboldt Foundation, Akademie Schloss Solitude, and the Andy Warhol Foundation. They’ve keynoted at transmediale, the Stedelijk Museum, and V2_ Rotterdam, among others. They are Professor and Chair of Media Studies and Gender Studies at Purchase College–SUNY and currently splitting their time between New York and Europe.

Our April Open Studio at Künstler*dorf was filled with conversations about the future, the darknesses of the present, about wounds, care, healing, and the actions we need in order to imagine other ways of being together and envision the worlds we want to build.

We celebrated the opening of “Dwelling the Escampadero”, the first act of” Essays on Togetherness”, a program of three Open Studios reflecting on what we need in order to imagine the future collectively.

The exhibition brought together works and contributions by artists:
Marah Ghanaiem -
Renée Kool
Francisca Jiménez .jimenez.ortegate and Farhad Babaei .farhad
Escuela de Garaje

Visitors were invited to contribute ideas and reflections for the future as seeds that will become part of the growing Future Garden currently being planted and imagined at Künstler*dorf created in a conversation between artist Sara Alvarado and Camilo Pachón

Especial thanks to fellows
Frauke Materlik and Dominique Haensell for the contribution with the German text.

This Sunday, we open the doors once again for another opportunity to engage with the processes of our fellows through four new presentations and encounters.

Words made for the stage 🎤
literature, community, and collective spaces ✍️
from tiny cellars to opera houses ✨

Today we’re happy to share the work of spoken word artist, poet, and writer Miedya Mahmod, one of the .

“It wasn’t the first, but actually third time I applied (just as a shout-out to people, for whom the first try didn’t work out as well - sometimes it’s good to keep trying :-)), and every time my thought behind it was that I am a miserable individual being most of the time but when I feel like I am part of a (however temporal) community, that chose to be mindful towards and interested in each other, suddenly feelings of reward, worth and responsibility become concrete again. Also, I live in a very loud environment (several people, including children, right behind the Autobahnen of the Ruhr Area haha) and being autistic and in neurodivergent burn-out for a long time now, i yearn for spaces, that are just more quiet lol.

My goals during my stay here is finishing the draft for my first volume of poetry, Aus hingehaltener Zunge, that will be published in November 2026 in a young, independent publishing house a friend of mine just founded in Gelsenkirchen called s;rren, and then continue to work in the new realm (for me) of novel-esque writing under the working title: DUR.”

Women’s labor and ancestral memory 🧵
Rituals of offering and healing 🌾
Land, spirituality, and collective remembrance ✨

Today we’re happy to share the work of artist and researcher Ivukuvuku , one of the .

“At Künstlerdorf, I intend to expand my artistic research practice within a context that values experimentation, reflection, and collaborative cultural exchange. My work traces, examine and weaves invisible forms of labour, language, rhythm, chanting, care, and cultural memory held within the body, the land, and materiality. I engage sackcloth as both archive and repository, responding to site in ways that honor histories of laboring the land while tracing sacred memory as portals of offering and the symbolic presence embedded in material. The multi-layered processes developed during the residency will focus on and emphasize the importance of women in preserving cultural heritage and sustaining relationships with the land. Growing up on a homestead, I witnessed the tireless and cyclical efforts of women in preparing for offerings, gatherings and rituals. Through repetitive acts of making and gathering, I explore how labour becomes a form of care, renewal, healing and transformation, and how memory is transmitted through touch, rhythm, and embodied presence.”

My practice draws from women’s labor, land-based practices, and overlooked cultural rituals, foregrounding forms of knowledge that remain resilient beyond dominant historical narratives. During my stay, I aim to extend this echoing notion by engaging with the surrounding environment, developing new methods and skills, and fostering meaningful dialogue within contemporary community. Titled Umnikelo / The Offering, this ongoing research project navigate a profound connection between personal experience, ritual practice, and collective historical sites—drawing from the landscapes and memory of my home village. Within the residency, I will explore memory as both space and time for offering and healing.

Mythologies in the making 🐐
Human, animal, and ancestral forms 🌋
Stories shaped through memory and ritual ✨

Today we’re happy to share the work of visual artist Ande Magoso , one of the .

“I decided to apply to Künstler*dorf Schöppingen because of its emphasis on time, space,
and focused artistic research. My practice is deeply rooted in long-form thinking, where
painting, drawing, and symbolism evolve slowly through reflection, memory, and
experimentation.

During the residency, I intend to develop a new body of work exploring mythology, cultural
hybridity, and the psychological landscapes that emerge between history, identity, and
imagination. I am particularly interested in how distance from home reshapes perception,
narrative, and visual language. The residency offers a valuable context for both production
and exchange, allowing me to expand my work while remaining connected to its South
African grounding.“

Ande Magoso is a South African visual artist working primarily in painting and drawing. His
work is rooted in a self-constructed mythological world, where human, goat, and sheep
figures appear as recurring symbols tied to memory, ritual, and cultural inheritance.
Drawing from his Xhosa and Zulu background, he explores questions of identity, belief, and
what it means to exist between different cultural frameworks. His images move between the
real and the surreal, often holding a quiet tension between familiarity and distortion.

Magoso’s practice is shaped by storytelling, both lived and imagined. Each work forms part
of a larger, evolving narrative rather than a standalone image.
