With the aim of bringing non-European perspectives into dialogue with the European public, the Academy of the Arts of the World regularly welcomes artists-in-residence from all over the world to Cologne. As part of a scholarship, they are given the opportunity to encounter the regional art and creative scene and find inspiration for their own projects. The artists-in-residence present their work with their own events in the program of the Academy of the Arts of the World.
Each new residency begins with a convivial evening entitled “Meet the Artists!”. For this series of get-togethers, the ADKDW invites artists, cultural professionals and all interested Cologne residents to meet the artists-in-residence, exchange ideas and network or simply enjoy the music together!

Through their media-based art, they provide insights into the current reality of life in the Pacific Islands. At Dublab Cologne, Sancia, aka DJ Miala, will share an eclectic mix. Flowing between Japanese folk, Hawaiian falsetto, Jawaiian, roots reggae and field recordings, this guest session departs from Honolulu film initiative, kekahi wahi’s sonic influences of Asia-Pacific archipelagos
