Intersected Trajectories: Updates and feedback on trajectory work

Reshapers & Facilitators share the outcomes of the workshops they were part of. The session will be moderated by Joris Janssens.

A brief radiography of the performing arts scene in Romania, with a focus on the independent art scene.

A conversation about the socio-economic conditions of cultural work and the policies and support structures for culture in Romania.

Igor Štiks will present cases of activist aesthetics in the artistic acts, practices and works related to contemporary political and social activism of progressive and left-wing movements and groups in the post-Yugoslav region.

Soraya Bahgat will share her journey as an “accidental activist” and social entrepreneur. While working as Head of HR for a leading Egyptian real estate developer, she founded a volunteer movement to combat the pandemic mob sexual assaults that had plagued Tahrir Square during the 2011 revolution.

Rethinking the understanding of politics: it should not only be international, but interspecies, including all subjects and matters – animals, plants, mountains, people, sounds, viruses, AI, etc.

The tours Lala is organizing (Trăiește Orașul! Live the City!) were another form of understanding of our cities and society. At first it was a personal weekend getaway and then they became a weekly passion for researching and listening to the stories of the inhabitants.

The declared ambition of the Cluj ECoC bid was “to engage the communities of the city in a common life-changing project, helping us to fulfil our potential to act as a community”. So how are we performing?

Toned Personal Histories, Flaviu's tour is crafted around the personal histories he has been collecting in these past few years around the streets of Cluj.

Along our tour we will meet organizations and companies at different stages of development, get a chance to meet the people behind the exciting programming and get a glimpse of what the challenges are of making engaging, innovative and socially meaningful theatre in Cluj.

Discover the local contemporary art scene with a tailor-made guided tour of independent spaces.

This session offers a simple and efficient framework to create your own meeting agenda. Propose and discuss issues that are relevant to you at this moment: the content, dynamics and conclusions are entirely up to you!

Đorđe will shortly present Škart activities: starting from the first decade, the 90's, and street actions, following 2000 – 2013 which were the years of forming new collectives, bigger than Škart itself, changing the focus from visual art to other disciplines.

Memory of the World/Public Library is the synergy of two efforts. First, it makes the case for the institution of public library and its principle of universal access to knowledge. Second, it is an exploration and development of distributed internet infrastructure for amateur librarians.

This talk will share some practical experiences of the municipalist movement in order to contribute to the discussion about how feminism can (and should) shape our work. How we do things is as important as what we are doing!
