Moving Borders is a cooperation project among seven European production houses, festivals and public bodies in the sphere of performing arts.During the project lifespan of 24 month this group of partners will examine new ways of producing performing art projects while approaching and involving a broader spectrum of individuals and communities focusing on so far underrepresented groups. People of different origins and social milieus in their cities become co-creators and potential new audiences for cultural projects. «Moving Borders» uses artistic methods to initiate encounters between people of different origins and social milieus that would be unlikely to happen in real life. In a process of collecting and inventing stories, people who would never meet develop and establish a new hybrid cultural practice. In seven European cities with very different, cultural, demographic and historical backgrounds, seven different editions of a Community Art project are createdThe project has the potential to be a role model project, because the basic artistic concept can be adapted to any city or region, also after the actual running time of the project and its European co-funding.The topic «borders» resonates in different ways in the framework of this project: it reflects the visible and invisible social and cultural segregation that threatens to tear our communities and the project of the European Union as a whole apart, it tries to conceive «borders» as the constitutive element of a potentially joyful diverse society – no diversity without «borders» that define certain cultural and social territories – and it takes a closer look on the «borders» that keep large parts of our cities communities away from our theatres, venues, activities – borders we want to overcome with concepts, inventions, practices, activities we are going to develop and implement during the lifespan of our project and beyond. |
