Do we actually “share diversity” and how much national governments across Europe care about it?

What do we mean when we talk about “Intercultural dialogue as an emerging issue on policy and political agendas? Who should stay behind promoting the intercultural dialogue as a policy framework and in the artistic practices?

The ambitious aim to understand how national governments across Europe actually address Intercultural dialogue and to map the ID national approaches, policies or strategies, was set up by a core ERICarts team in January 2007. With the help of a research network of correspondents in 34 countries and two special advisors, it took over a year of hard work and deep research to finalise the study “Sharing Diversity: National Approaches to Intercultural Dialogue in Europe”. An impressive 154 pages collective research result!

One of the outcomes of the study is that intercultural dialogue can work in practice only in an environment where there is a guarantee for the personal safety, dignity, equality of opportunity and participation, […]

Righting a Wrong.

I have stayed away from cultur-issues for far too long. I used to be very active in the field. Music, art, performance, video, theatre and so forth.

I used to study in the UK and I would actually have ties all over Europe. Untight ties. I mean to tighten them now.

Get back into one of the most valuable, rewarding and unrewarding fields of day and nighttime occupation.

Time will tell if I’m successful.

Culture and the Web

The latest LabforCulture newsletter focuses on how cultural institutions and audiences can collaboratively engage with each other with the help of new online practices.

Peter Mechant, a researcher at the Research Group for Media and ICT, Ghent University, recently published a text in the Virtueel Platform’s Cultuur 2.0 publication that presents a particular perspective on developing these new relationships. LabforCulture asked two individuals working in the field - Marko Brumen (Pekarna magdalenske mreže cultural centre, Slovenia) and Annet Dekker (Virtueel Platform, NL) - to respond to Mechant’s text with their own viewpoints and experiences.

OLOVNI VOJNICI, TAM TAM BUBNJEVI

Kad sam vijest tuga me uzima pod svoje;
sabirem obrve i skute omrvičene odgrizlom obalom.
Toplo ranjena, čahurim se u kataleptični zagrljaj.
Olovni vojnici, zam zam bubnjevi, zimski dimovi pobodeni uzdzž haringa
otpisuju s ganutljive hrpe; ni baštinici iz prve loze ne će prepoznati
linije crvenog feuda.
Dječja kolica odnosno njihov kostur i očuvan kišobran s plavo bijelom čipkom, ljutika izguljena iza
župne kuće kao ispremlaćena aktivistica u borbi za ženska prava.
Strjelovito vizualiziram brzi hod sjevernih neba kristale modre, oštre
od kojih udovi uši trepavice kapci nos bezbolno otpadaju uz jedva čujnu škripu.
Vučice odlažu vreteno.
Svako će nam doba priuštiti tratinčice.
Plašt Crnog Viteza struji česminom. Zečevi u crvenim uredskim odijelima
izvrću se po tlu s nogama uvis i sami uvjereni da je kraj.
Prekriva me šibljem (a vijest se već širi) dok mi lice ne ožeženapjev iz žuči gušterice.
