FOTODOK invites you to an evening on the value of international exchange projects. Why are they important? What are the direct and indirect effects on (lens-based) art and photography practices? Who initiates and facilitates them and how? During Exchange as Space, photographers, (lens-based) artists and the institutions that support them reflect on these questions and their experiences of international exchange.

FOTODOK and Casa Tres Patios, a residency and exhibition space in Medellin (Colombia), have worked since 2011 on the international exchange project Attitudes and Approaches in Documentary, Lens-based Practices in Colombia and the Netherlands. After a period of curatorial investigation, they invited Colombian artist Daniel Santiago Salguero and Dutch artist Anna Dasovic to start a year-long exchange without a predetermined outcome. Exchange as Space is one of the final events of the project.
