Exchange, coproduction, and networks: it initially sounds like a good idea. Recently, several German cooperation programmes have been directed at the African continent. But what do artists expect of an "exchange"? What is ”cooperation"? What can be made feasible by a coproduction? How can the success of these projects be measured? What role do racism and exoticism play in the mutual perception? National and international guests will discuss questions and specific opportunities for action focusing on the Kinshasa Connection, upon which the international cooperation network Shared Spaces is founded.
