2010/06/18 — 2010/06/20
This workshop will be a theoretical session based on (all our)
practical experiences on issues of cultural re-appropriation of
spaces and the barriers between cultural/ artistic intervention and
public inclusion.
It focuses on cultural production in rural areas, village contexts
and culturally under-resourced locations (cultural production at
the fringes).
Overall question: How to bridge the gap between cultural/art projects and the public?
- ways of engagement, participation and collaboration (equal partner, expert, context pleaser)
- our individual and collective interests and expectations in public projects (from indicating or provoking alternatives to merely being comforting)
- our motives/ ideologies/ social interests and ambitions, why we engage with the public in creative ways (from social concern to artistic/ academic profiling)
- how can the relationship between cultural activist/ artist and community/ audience be analysed, fostered, empowered and equalized
- what is the balance between creative independence and social/ political commitment (from autonomous work to conspirator and social worker)
- how to create impulses, stimulate desire and instil a demand for cultural participation and creative DIY
