ON MOBILISATION
Micro- and transnational communities mobilisation through artistic practice
ON MOBILISATION focuses on community mobilisation through artistic processes. This bottom-up project co-funded by the European Union, takes an active role in an international solidarity and emancipatory movement. It aims to bring together and to engage individuals for favouring forms of social justice and equality. In order to effectively address the concept of micro-community mobilisation the project embraces local specificities of the four partner organisations: wpZimmer, Baltic Art Center, Studio ALTA and Lavanderia a Vapore. They are mobilised by adopting radical forms of cultural participation facilitated by six international artists: Kalle Brolin, Elisabetta Consonni, Daniele Ninarello, Ahilan Ratnamohan, Marika Smreková and Danae Theodoridou.
The main objective of the ON MOBILISATION project is to respond to the need for transnational creation and circulation of knowledge and capacity building. It proposes a softly guided frame for participation, in a peer-to-peer dynamic, contributing to the ongoing demand for elementary equality, social fairness and empowerment. It creates an informal and inclusive model of learning within culture, stimulating exchange, activating citizens, developing audience and by that opening up a connection to other social spheres and domains that were inaccessible before.
During ON MOBILISATION, Studio ALTA will facilitate the artistic research “On Parent-friendly Culture” led by Marika Marika Smreková. Our trajectory focuses on the invisible work of parents and their exclusion from social and cultural life. During the next months, we will search for strategies on how to make our institutions more accessible towards the parents of smaller children. Our tool will be a community of active people and means of self-organizing. Our aim is to prototype a practice of dismantling barriers that we are placing between each other.
“One way to activate society for positive change is to engage it in active heterogeneous communities in which collaborative creative activity takes place. The artists, together with the audience and the environment, can be in an emancipatory creative dialogue that prototypes the disruption of the hierarchical, patriarchal structures of society as well as the anthropocentric worldview.” _ Marika Smreková
