With the aim of bringing non-European perspectives into dialogue with the European public, the ADKDW 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.

The ADKDW regularly welcomes artists-in-residence from all over the world to Cologne. Each new residency begins with a convivial evening in the Elektra Bar. Titled Meet the Artists!, we invite artists, cultural professionals and all interested Cologne residents to meet the artists-in-residence, exchange ideas and network or simply enjoy the live music together!

Starting in October 2024, the artists Drew Kahuʻāina Broderick and Sancia Miala Shiba Nash from the grassroots film initiative kekahi wahi will be guests in Cologne. Kekahi wahi is committed to document the transformation processes taking place in the Hawaiian archipelago. 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 that departs from kekahi wahiʻs sonic influences of Asia-Pacific archipelagoes.The guest session covers Japanese folklore, Hawaiian falsetto, Jawaiian, roots reggae and field recordings.
