Kulturanova has started working on a new project - Rivers2Communities, which is a continuation of the previous successful project K3CI, done in a similar consortium and supported by the same fund, Interreg IPA CBC HU RS.
Partners in this project are Cinema City Association (Novi Sad), KÉP-SZÍN-HÁZ Alapítvány (Szeged), DDTG Danube Development Transnational Group (Pécs/Szeged) and Pro Progressione Nonprofit Ltd. (Budapest/Kecskemet).
The project's main objective is to further strengthen cooperation between contemporary cultural and creative scenes of Hungary and Serbia and among the societies, and citizens in the bordering region by focusing on our mutual cultural identity represented in the rivers. Historically, rivers are not only a main source and center of life but carriers of meaning for human interaction. This project will bring the rivers and their use in the focus, both in Hungary and Serbia and will use cultural events as a tool to attract people to the rivers.
Through a series of activities such as educational and networking events, presentations and productions the projects intends to enforce knowledge within the creative sector, spark artistic collaboration between local scenes and the citizens, emphasize the role of young women artists and enable greater visibility of cultural products among audiences in the border region, intensifying the feeling of the belonging to a common area. The second level is to create a platform for the promotion and co-creation of young artists. Fresh films, music, visual works and performances which communicate with a universal language and represent popular and effective mediums for the expression of human ingenuity, will be presented, while at the same time the project will bring people back to the rivers and possibly create infrastructure for future use and thus the creation of new touristic products in given local settlement.
The program implementation is in strong collaboration with local communities, they become not only part of the artistic creation, but they decide together what to create and share with communities of the same river but from the other side of the border.
