RESHAPE is an experimental, collaborative, bottom-up process that creates instruments for the transition towards a fairer arts ecosystem, more in tune with the evolution of society. At the heart of this research is a process involving 40 artists and art workers from across Europe and the Southern Mediterranean, engaged in collaborative work relating to five major challenges of today’s arts sector: Arts and Citizenship, Fair Governance Models, Value of Art in Social Fabric, Solidarity Economies and Transnational/Postnational Artistic Practices. Together they have created a series of prototypes – ideas and concrete tools that reflect and incite the transformation of the art sector towards practices that are more equitable, more sustainable, and more in line with the civil role of the arts.
