NICA Backstage: Introducing the project management team

Esther Weickel and Ella O’Brien-Coker started working with the NICA artists a year ago.

One year ago, Esther Weickel (head of project) and Ella O’Brien-Coker (project coordination) took over the management of NICA artist development.

For both of them, communication and trust are the key to identify, formulate and realise the needs of NICA artists for their professional development. Their main concern is to work together with the NICA artists on individual ways of support and at the same time to promote the further possibilities of NICA artist development.

What the two did before NICA, what motivates them, more about the possibilities of NICA and the connection of the support programme to the Stadtgarten Köln - Thomas Venker sat down with Ella and Esther to talk about this and more with them.

The whole interview online in kaput magazine (only available in German).
