●  In 2017 the residency started a Summer School for young artists. Former residents of The Fifth Season Marieke Zwart, Dirk van Lieshout and curator-director Esther Vossen organise the summer school to challenge a new generation of artists to collaborate and work within the field of psychiatry
●  Starting point of this year’s edition is the subject of privacy and the future of mental health. We use the year 2050 as a point of focus to develop speculative artistic proposals for our future.<!--[if !supportLists]-->
