The Artist in Residence Program, an important cultural, artistic and educational addition to Leiden University's versatile academic profile. This year’s programme consists of workshops/classes for students taught by a Japanese contemporary artist invited to Leiden. The initiative was made possible through the generosity of The Japan Association for Promotion of Arts (JAPA), and The Isaac Alfred Ailion Foundation.
The 2024 edition of the Artist in Residence Programme consists of a workshop of five (and possibly six) sessions conducted by Professor Hideaki Honma, a renowned sculptor and craftsman of bamboo works. Professor Ivo Smits will assist as coordinator.
