IMDL is working towards reciprocal exchange between artist-led communities in the Netherlands and internationally, with Amsterdam as a meeting hub.

Artists active in one region could join an edition or year-end finale here; artists who meet here could be invited elsewhere. The finale offers an extended occasion for artists from the year’s programme to return and perform in new combinations.

Each exchange would be shaped with local curators, allowing different places to contribute their own artists, spaces and ways of working.
