Numerous actors in the field of art are addressing > migration-related issues and its protagonists. Additionally, various funding > structures have evolved that aim to include refugees in artistic production, > from grants for artists to large and small-scale project funding, often > specifically targeting young people in projects of so-called cultural > education combined with artistic practice. While the scope of activities is > full of possibilities corresponding to apparent needs with hands-on practice > in self-organised, community-based and activist ways, various sociopolitical > framework conditions need to be challenged. > What is for sure: Art matters and is a driver for social change enhancing > societies in all their diversity, wherein migration is an integral part. > > During a two-days practice-based workshop series, we critically reflect on > current approaches and various forms of engagement with international and > local experts. We invite you to join us to discuss your practices, methods > and visions. On the whole, the workshops investigate the special role of > contemporary arts in questioning power mechanisms within post-colonial > societies and the art scene itself.
