Das Haus' Impact
“Finding Labs like this one, where we can openly share and learn about various topics related to the success of an artistic project, makes the work much more interesting and enjoyable. Open-source collaboration and sharing are, for me, the most important factors that can unite people involved in artistic work and contribute to progress, evolution, and awareness of the significance of creative endeavors. This Lab helped me understand how to simplify and be more productive in building my project. It also demonstrated that we can be much more creative in both producing and managing.”
— Lua Carreira, Project Pro Lab #02
"Participating in the Curators Lab was 'the perfect way to start the new year', as I was able to listen to very nice projects and present mine to other people from different locations in the world, so that gave a bigger perspective and feedback. The coordinator was the perfect guide in the meetings, and it was given efficient suggestions to all the projects, so everybody was well-motivated to learn from each other. I enjoyed a lot, and looking forward for a new follow-up in some months."
— Ana Rita Costa (Mayan), Curators Lab #02

"Participating in the Project Pro Lab was a great experience where artists from different areas meet for one week and it helps to get other perspectives about one topic and be inspired by other people and thematics, ways of working or thinking. Seeing and feeling others' motivation and intentions, gave me more inspiration and motivation to work on my projects."

I was not entirely sure what to expect signing up for the Lab, but as is often in life, just showing up, being open to what might ensue, and to engage with creative strangers and new ideas was an extremely rewarding experience."

"I've taken a lot from my experience participating in Das Haus. Since our weekly online meetings started in October, we've covered a lot of topics in our discussions - from funding applications and residencies to time management, budgeting and CV-writing. I've met some incredible artists and gleaned valuable insights from their practices. I feel we have cultivated a small community during this time, and perhaps that's the most valuable takeaway from the project overall."
