A occhi aperti created an artistic residency-exchange program for young artists, born out of a collaboration with Czech Literary Centre, a section of the Moravian Library in Brno, Czech Republic.

For its 2023 edition, two emerging artists, Adriana Marineo and Tereza Šiklová, living in Bologna and Tábor, respectively, exchanged cities for a month during which they had the space and time to focus on a creative project.

The two artists met in Bologna to set up an exhibition of the works they created during the residency: the result is These two..., a visual dialogue between Italy and the Czech Republic.
