Cultural exploration and exchange with(in) South-East Europe

Artists and organisations from Flanders and Brussels (and from Western/Northern Europe) do not usually work so frequently with players from the Balkans or countries bordering the Union. Our market logic is pushing us towards other regions and continents. And yet, in the changing zeitgeist, it is more than ever imperative to seek to connect with the South and Eastern Europe.

Not only to better understand the turbulent social, cultural and political developments within Europe, but also because in the very active socially involved artistic landscape in these regions, over the past 15 years, interesting and innovative answers are being developed in response to questions with which artists and organisations in Western/Northern Europe increasingly have to struggle.
