Delfina Foundation is delighted to announce a new partnership with Valand Academy, Sweden. Organised in collaboration with the MFA programme lead by Jason E Bowman, each year two of Delfina Foundation’s international residents will participate in a series of presentations and meetings with students at Valand Academy. The residents will also have the opportunity to engage in meetings with members of the arts community across the city of Gothenburg.

Jumana Emil Abboud was the first resident to take part in a programme in February 2015.  In November 2015, resident Maryam Monalisa Gharavi will travel to Gothenburg to give a presentation as well as conduct a number of studio visits with the MFA students.
