Art Interventions is…
…an interdisciplinary programme that brings together local, national and European artists and scholars alike at disadvantaged communities. Participants attend interdisciplinary colloquia in order to identify socio-economic-political processes which are taboo in the communities. Through community participation they are invited to find innovative ways to deal with them.
Each colloquium includes:
- Research by students and scholars in social and political studies
- A weeklong seminar – dealing with the history of the area and its current situation, the phenomenon in question, activism and engaged art
- Tour of the area and its surroundings
- Two-week artists’ workshop where local, national and international artist work in public space, collaborate with the local population, and create site-specific work related to the theme.
- Three-week exhibition in the location of the workshop.
- Catalogue and a two-day concluding seminar, hosted in one of the country’s major towns.
