A two-month European music residency created and directed by Marcela Villanueva for FLINTA musicians with migrant backgrounds living across Europe. Funded through LiveMX and co-funded by the European Union, the programme was hosted at Projektraum Coswig and combined accommodation, travel support, mentoring, professional workshops, collaborative sessions, paid public performances in Coswig and Berlin, and professional studio recording. Designed to address structural barriers faced by underrepresented musicians, Resonance provided participants with time, space, resources and industry connections to develop new work, strengthen their professional practice and expand their visibility within the European music scene.
