The Salzburger Kunstverein and ArtReview have announced the four writers selected for their 2026 Writer-in-Residence Programme. The winners—Hana Elhaddad, Sharmilla Ganesan, Olga Hohmann, and Eshwari—were chosen from a large pool of applicants for their distinctive voices and engagement with the conceptual theme 'CAPTCHA Realism'.
This residency program matters as it provides a significant platform for diverse, international critical voices in contemporary art. By supporting writers from Egypt, Malaysia, Germany, and India, the initiative fosters global artistic discourse and critical writing, directly influencing how contemporary art is interpreted and discussed on an international stage.
