Solidarity Economies

How can solidarity funding encourage the vitality of contemporary arts in these uncertain times?

We detected 5 topics that present particular challenges in the current arts ecosystem. They are complementary topics that form a systematic analysis of major challenges for the sector. They are open questions that will guide discussions in 5 trajectories and provide content to the process by which concrete answers and solutions will be proposed and tested.

Trajectories are bringing together 40 participants, “Reshapers”, invited through an open selection process, to provide concrete proposals of strategies and instruments to advance on one of the 5 challenges, in the course of 18 months, in 15 workshops and remote work.

Certain Things Need to Be Said if One is to Avoid Falsifying the Problem. – Decolonisation, Degrowth and Art

During the round table session, we will try to think about the following with our intersectional glasses on: How are decolonisation and degrowth mutually intertwined, and how are they intertwined with the art world, both together and separately? How does the concept and practice of degrowth differ from aspirations for sustainable practices? Where do decolonisation and degrowth intersect in relation to art?

The Art of Disobedience

If culture is a set of invisible customs, rules and regulations pertaining to our society, can we view art as a way to question, break and reinvent them? Should artists be a force of disobedience, calling out for changes in the existing order of things? Can an artwork invite its audience to a space of shared concern, and function as an act of disobedience?

Marko Bulc: First Altruistic Performance

The First Altruistic Performance isbased on the author’s frustration and dissatisfaction with most of the so‑called artivistic projects (including his own), which exploit unfortunate, unjust, illegal, and similar miserable situations of the other and the others for self‑promotion and to strengthen their artistic ego, while being for the most part self‑sufficiently confined within the boundaries of the art system.

Cancelled // Vincent Liegey: To Reshape Well, Let's Degrowth

"Degrowth" has emerged over the last 15 years. This "bomb word" has been used to open in-depth debates on whether infinite growth in a finite world is desirable or even possible. Degrowth first deconstructs the myth that growth is the central solution for the impasse our capitalist, productivist and consumerist societies have led us to.
