The project

In Ex(ile) Lab aims to support artists in exile, who have recently relocated and are looking to build a career in Cyprus, France, Italy and Portugal, by providing opportunities to create a performance, build a professional network, be artistically advised by established artists based in Europe and reach new audiences within the European space.

Over the last two years, from 2022 to 2024, the In Ex(ile) Lab supported by Creative Europe, has explored tailored transdisciplinary pathways, allowing artists in exile and residing in France, Cyprus, Portugal, and Italy to build a professional network, receive artistic consultation from established European companies, and engage with new audiences in the European context.

During this period, the project has enabled cultural organizations to rethink their practices and adapt their tools to the needs of artists in exile. The two-year In Ex(ile) Lab initiative has produced a digital catalog and a toolkit for institutions and cultural organizations, both available for download.
