ARTISTIC COALITIONS | Workshops on Socially Engaged Art

ARTISTIC COALITIONS

How to build coalitions around issues that matter to us? How to share your artistic practice not only through its presentation but also by engaging people, communities, and groups—who may not have prior artistic experience? How to create participatory spaces and co-create artistic events?

Strefa WolnoSłowa invites you to a series of workshops aimed at artists, cultural animators, and facilitators interested in creating socially engaged, participatory art with local and migrant communities.
