Artistic Residence || Contemporary Art Festival
The Spanish platform for cultural interaction CultUcrania.org in collaboration with the Cultural Action Area of the Polytechnic University of Valencia presents this Thursday the residency for young artists LA TIERRA-LA GUERRA.
The aim of the residency is to create a joint project-exhibition together with Spanish students and graduates of related creative specialties. The residency will take place at the edge of three disciplines: art, ecology and human mental health.
The central theme of the project is the trauma of man and nature as a result of war. Earth – as a key force that provides a person with a resource for recovery and the opportunity to resist in the modern world.
We will also have the participation of:
- CHRIS BALDWIN, Performance director, curator and writer “How do we touch the untouchable? The frame of cultural practices and social trauma.”
- IVETTA DALIKATNA “Ukrainian landscape and ecological catastrophe for the whole of Europe, as a consequence of war”.
The project will be part of an international youth information campaign aimed at drawing the attention of the European community to the ecocide in Ukraine as one of the global consequences of war and natural catastrophe of global significance.
