The cultural promotion department of the canton Basel-Landschaft wants to promote and support artistic collaboration, encounters between different artists, and creative exchange through a two-week "Reconnect" residency grant. The sixth edition of Reconnect starts at the end of June 2026 with a two-week residency grant and a public final event at the Villa Clavel. The 2026 scholarships were awarded to three artist duos: Esther Ernst and Jörg Laue explore landscape and perception in graphic and performative cartographies; Olivia Ronzani and Eevi Kinnunen combine dance, voice, and metal sounds into an intense performance in “Metal Tears”; and Michèle Degen and Marcel Hörler are developing a participatory project around a large balloon, inspired by the history of the Castelen estate.
Over two weeks, these artists will develop their work and deepen the creative exchange. At the end of the stay, there will be an event on Friday, July 17, which will give the general public an insight into the artistic work and the collaborations. The audience can look forward to a varied afternoonwith exciting encounters in the garden of Villa Clavel.
Tickets are CHF 8 for adults and allow you to visit both Reconnect and the museum at Augusta Raurica; you can order them at https://shop.augustaraurica.ch/de/tickets/1094?date=2026-07-17.
