Description
Contemporary art is a rising field. The Florescu-Fernandez & Friends Association, together with the Norwegian partner, Eikeset med 4 Strenger, aims to promote contemporary art, international cultural cooperation and knowledge transfer through the production of artistic events for ethnic communities and of people with disabilities, as well as the general public. Many people with disabilities and people belonging to different ethnicities are excluded from social / cultural life due to discriminatory attitudes. The project responds to the need for initiatives that give the possibility of participation of people in these categories to cultural life by organizing activities for them: 1 painting exhibition and 3 educational concerts. The project aims to achieve the following specific objectives: OS1. Increasing public participation in contemporary art events with 4000 spectators by organizing during the 12 months 14 performances of the show RoWay - NorMania in Romania and Norway. OS2. Sustainable and innovative growth of the level of understanding of contemporary art and intercultural dialogue through educational programs for 230 students and youth. Supporting 5 educational concerts and 3 podcasts with Norwegian stories over a period of 8 months. OS3. Development of cultural entrepreneurship through the transfer of knowledge and expertise between organizations in RO and NO through job-shadowing activities and non-formal training for 6 professionals over a period of 11 months. The proposed partnership will strengthen bilateral cooperation in the field of contemporary art between Romania and Norway by facilitating the exchange of experience.
