Changing Europe, Changing Arts #1
In a series of four public sessions, EUNIC Netherlands will examine how cultural diversity is manifesting itself today. The focus is especially on the grey area between the community arts and social arts on the one hand and high art on the other hand.
Examples from various European countries demonstrate how our multicultural society can enrich culture and the arts. The central questions are: What makes the projects at hand so special? Who attended these events? What was their general impact on the visitors? Which questions were raised? Which debates were triggered? Which changes in society were brought about? What effect is the multicultural society having on the artists and event organizers themselves and on the artistic choices they are making?
With Annie Fletcher (Van Abbe Museum, Eindhoven), Maria Draghici and Irina Gadiuta (BOMBA studio Rahova-Uranus Community in Bucharest). Moderator: Bas Heijne.
The other sessions are scheduled for 25 October, 15 November and 29 November.
Organized by: EUNIC Netherlands and SICA.
