 ELT
DESCRIPTION:DECONFINING - dissolving borders\, opening up spaces\, questio
 ning privileges. For four years\, this leitmotif shaped the artistic excha
 nge between twelve European organisations and their African partners - bet
 ween Burkina Faso and Lithuania\, Croatia and Tunisia\, Poland and Zambia\
 , Germany and Tanzania\, Austria and Togo\, Slovenia and Senegal\, Norway 
 and Mali\, Spain and Uganda\, Belgium and Morocco. The cooperation within 
 the framework of DECONFINING ARTS\, CULTURE\, AND POLITICS IN EUROPE AND A
 FRICA has resulted in a dense network with various cross-connections to ea
 ch other and to other cultural organisations and artists in the countries 
 of Europe and Africa.\nTheir common goal is to overcome paternalistic and 
 colonial perspectives\, strengthen participatory approaches and create bet
 ter access to information for intercontinental mobility and transnational 
 cooperation.\nHow can artistic exchange across continents succeed - and wh
 at conditions are needed for this? What kind of interweaving between art a
 nd politics strengthens us to be able to break new ground? This conference
  will deal with these questions\, the studies produced in the project and 
 the cultural policy insights gained from them. It marks the conclusion of 
 the Creative Europe project DECONFINING ARTS\, CULTURE\, AND POLICIES IN E
 UROPE AND AFRICA.\nAll conference events will be held in English. Whispere
 d translation into German will be provided. Registration deadline: 15.06.
