Micro- and transnational communities mobilisation through artistic practice, 2023
ON MOBILISATION
ON MOBILISATION was a project joining different partners and inviting artists for a transnational collaboration with the main objective to respond to the need for transnational creation and circulation of knowledge and building capacity. Starting in April 2023 and continuing over two years, wpZimmer, Baltic Art Center, Studio ALTA, Lavanderia a Vapore as well as the invited artists: Kalle Brolin, Elisabetta Consonni, Daniele Ninarello, Ahilan Ratnamohan, Marika Smreková and Danae Theodoridou, proposed a softly guided frame for participation, in a peer-to-peer dynamic, contributing to the ongoing demand for elementary equality, social fairness and empowerment.
The collabortation continues with On Mobilisation. Towards Multivocal Collaborative Futures (2026–2029). Visit the On Mobilisation site and sign up for the newsletter. Follow On Mobilisation on Facebook and Instagram.
