Group Fellowship: ENKEL:INNEN
From March 27 to April 5, 2025, the art project ENKEL:INNEN was in residence at Schloss Wiepersdorf as part of a group fellowship. The project brings together pairs consisting of a (great-)granddaughter of Jewish Holocaust survivors and a (great-)granddaughter of perpetrators, working together on large-scale paintings. Throughout the process, the artists document their collaboration and the questions that arise through voice messages sent to one another. The participating artists in residence at Wiepersdorf were Jenny Alten, Erika Stürmer-Alex, Elisabeth Fraenkel, Lana Svirezheva, Kayla Elrod, Finja Sander and Eva Neidlinger.
The works created as part of ENKEL:INNEN will be featured in an interdisciplinary exhibition at KunstHaus Potsdam from 7 September to 19 October 2025.

Group Fellowship: NOI(SY) MISCH(IEF)
From April 7 to 11, 2025, the Cultural Foundation Schloss Wiepersdorf welcomed alumnus Hunjoo Jung, who rehearsed with the ensemble Neu(sy) Misch(ief) for the world premiere of his monodrama "About Haan…," as part of a group residency.
The work was developed during Jung’s 2023 artist residency at Schloss Wiepersdorf and explores the Korean concept of "Haan" – a deeply internalized sorrow and a state of emotional melancholy. Through a bold fusion of music theatre, performance, storytelling, multimedia, and new technologies, Jung transforms this culturally specific emotion into an intense sensory experience for a Central European audience.
"About Haan…," premiered on April 12, 2025, as part of the 2025 Magazin Festival for Contemporary Music in Hanover. For more information, visit www.hunjoojung.com
