On facilitating decolonialization and a next narrative of the EU by addressing inclusion of new-comers via cultural co-creation and circulation of cultural expressions

ended

A next narrative for the EU is needed; one that decolonises, one that creates trust, hope, perspectives, one that includes: new-comers and long-standing residents. Due to the climate catastrophe, to war & conflict(s) in Europe, to inequality, to acceleration and digitization, certainties are dissolving. Dealing with this, culture is a/the key. Culture/art – a) understood as the way humans do their lives in all aspects social, economic, aesthetic, and artistic, and b) understood as the individual production of artistic insight and questioning of the “now and here” – helps to create such new perspectives, understanding, a narrative. “SIRIUS4all – on facilitating decolonialization and a next narrative of the EU by addressing inclusion of new-comers via cultural co-creation and circulation of cultural expressions” strives to deep dive into cultural production and explore migrant artists production and answers and cultural practices focused on the relation of “new and old” Europeans. Circulation of results, awareness and access for migrant artists will be provided by the establishment of a 3-D-online-gallery, an “Exploratorium” for new-comer artefacts and (so far untold) stories. The consortium, consisting of cultural organisers, will practically explore experiences to then showcase aspects of migrant artistic creation. Acknowledging and enjoying the productive cultural differences of the EU, events happen in Sofia, Copenhagen, Berlin, Perugia, on Sicily as well as online, calling upon artists and using different “tools/modes” of exploration and dissemination: dialogue, listening, exhibition, sound, visuals, interaction, digital and social media. Results will be gathered, documented and presented, finally at a continuous 3-D-online-gallery space. The project´s overall goal is the transnational creation & circulation in supporting the process of social inclusion by opening perceptions & perspectives for individual, communities, for the EU members and new-comers.
