Program Description
The current thematic call for submissions for the WimmelResearch-Fellowship invites artists of all disciplines to engage with the topic of »Turning Points & Connectedness« from an artistic point of view. Intended as a trigger for interdisciplinary exchange, the thematic focus aims to initiate an open dialogue between artists and researchers of the Robert Bosch GmbH from all fields, in which common grounds, deviations, and controversies can be discussed and constructively metabolized.
