Format
Through a collective process with horizontality as our premise, mixing research and art practice in a 5-month project, we aim to envision other possible systems to live in horizontal and fertile ways. At the end of the program, we will work together to co-create a living art installation materializing the collective research and reflections. The program is divided into 3 phases:
1. Research
2. Horizontal Sharing
3. Creation
Who
Amateur, learning, and emerging artists from a wide range of practices. Focused, but not limited to:
young emerging artists (18-28 years old)
Migrants and refugees
Women and queer individuals
*Stages 2 and 3 are happening in person in Berlin, therefore we prioritize participants living there or with flexibility to join the sessions.
