What does ‘working internationally’ mean nowadays? Send us your ideas and brainstorm with us
Are there any issues around international work that concern you? Do you have ideas on how to make it more sustainable, and do you feel like working out some of them with a group of people sharing the same concern over a period of maximum one year? Send us your issues and ideas about how it can be done differently!
In 2021, Flanders Arts Institute will support the elaboration of ideas around these crucial challenges. A Fair New Idea?! is a collection of four open calls for project proposals.
Call 2: working internationally in the arts
The arts field is largely internationally oriented. But what does ‘international’ mean today? Are we talking about countries, markets, cultures, languages, histories? And to what extent is ‘international’ territorial, especially if you look at the diverse communities present in Flanders and Brussels?
International professional travel is a privilege, for which one needs opportunities and (access to) resources. It is increasingly fast-paced, expensive, and associated with a large ecological footprint.
How can the ‘timeout’ on international transit imposed by Covid offer the time and space to look for solutions?
