INCULTUM pilot in Andalusia
Cleaning of the Aynadamar irrigation channel: a participatory activity

After the recovery of the Aynadamar irrigation channel and the adjoining trail during the last year, the INCULTUM pilot in Andalusia continues with the maintenance of this important channel in the shaping of the city of Granada.

The main objective is to clean the canalisation, removing some of the soil and vegetation that has accumulated in recent months, in order to ensure the passage of water and continue with the landscape and environmental regeneration of this space.

A very nice participatory activity that sees the engagement of the local community together with the archaeologists of the University of Granada, coordinator of the INCULTUM project, funded by the EU under the Horizon 2020 Programme.

Linz, from May 8th to 11th, 2024. The open call deadline is 23rd February 2024
AMRO festival 24’s edition and open call

AMRO24’s edition

 

AMRO, Art Meets Radical Openness, is a biennial festival for art, hacktivism and open cultures, organized since 2008 by servus.at in cooperation with the Linz University of Art, Department of Time-Based Media. AMRO offers a context for discussing the challenges of digital cultures, software and network infrastructures, art and everyday life, education, politics and activism.

This year’s edition is also AMRO’s 15th anniversary and will take place from 8th-11th May 2024 at afo architekturforum öberosterreich & various locations in Linz.

AMRO24’s theme is “Dancing at the crossroads”. At the crossroads leading to a complex multi-crisis, AMRO24 aims to create spaces of resistance against the technological monoculture. It invites its community of artists and technologists, activists and developers to contribute with work envisioning forms of computational degrowth and permacomputational principles; developing with forms of protest and dissent to the normative, extractive and anti-social technological mainstream; and dealing with the consequences of a perhaps resistible rise of total AI.

Keywords for this year’s program are: Flirting with Burnouts, Looking at Points Tipping, Reseeding Resistance. While it is certainly true that in the present situation the need for action is ever increasing, the upcoming issue of AMRO refuses to conform to any simplification of reality. As a community located at the intersection of radical art practices and open source philosophies, this festival provides a space to envision alternative models of digitalization, as well as the liberatory social forms that flourish with them.

The festival is free for everyone to attend and there will be workshops, an exhibition, night performances and interventions.

 

Open Call

Deadline: 23rd February 2024, 20:24 CET

The festival program will also be enriched by a call for participation open to artists, programmers, researchers, activists and free spirits. You are welcome to propose a program point through the form, and the team will get in touch with you in the coming weeks.

The festival is looking for experimental, critical approaches to the uses of technology; combining performative and artistic research methods; and works open for feedback and further development.

The experiences of INCULTUM pilots
INCULTUM Guidelines on the use of European Structural and Investment Funds

The INCULTUM project focuses on promoting cultural tourism in Europe’s peripheral regions, leveraging European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF).

These Guidelines analyze the experiences of INCULTUM pilots with ESIF, providing insights into their application, management, and impact on cultural heritage projects.

The primary aim of this document is to offer a detailed exploration of how ESIF can be effectively utilized for cultural heritage projects. By drawing on the real-world experiences of those directly involved in the INCULTUM project, the report seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of the practical aspects of ESIF application, management, and impact.

The Guidelines aim to serve as a valuable resource for policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders, guiding them through the complexities of ESIF and demonstrating how these funds can be leveraged to foster the growth and development of cultural tourism in Europe’s peripheral regions.

The Guidelines are available for free download from the INCULTUM Training Portal (PDF).

(Be)longing: Confronting our memories – EuroClio’s annual conference 2024

The annual conference of EuroClio, the International Association of History Teachers, connects history and citizen educators from all over Europe.

Theme 2024

What are the factors that make you feel like you belong somewhere or not? Whether it is a place, a time, a family, a country, a community, or group of friends. This seemingly innocent question is key because it lies at the heart of some of the main societal questions of today. The reason is that the answers create in and out groups that divide and unite societies. People who belong seem to be entitled to more rights than those who don’t belong, perhaps most clearly expressed by politicians who state that their own people should come first. They do so to appeal to the majority, but at the expense of minorities (who come second at best).

At the same time, it is also important for anyone to feel that you belong somewhere, that you are part of something bigger. We, people, are social animals, after all.

Key questions

  • What can we do to create a space where everyone feels welcome? Whether they are students in a classroom, teachers at a conference, or newcomers in a society?
  • Should history education purposely be used for identity building? To promote a sense of belonging? Or is this instrumentalising history education?
  • What influences what we remember, and what we forget?
  • What are the implications for history education, and the use of testimonies.

What’s on the programme?

There will be a mix of activities offered. Participants can choose to participate in parallel workshops, focus group discussions, and optional social and cultural activities (such as an intercultural night, pub-quiz and museum visits). In additional there will be plenary workshops, a keynote lecture, a panel discussion, school visits, and a celebrative dinner, which all conference participants can join.

The General Assembly of EuroClio (which is open to the public, and also possible to follow online) will take place on Saturday afternoon.

Seven Deaths by Marina Abramović in a new video immersive experience at Università di Torino

Seven Deaths by Marina Abramović for Icona Callas – UniVerso project

 

Università di Torino presents “Icona Callas”, a series of events celebrating the 100th anniversary of Maria Callas‘s birth. These events are part of the UniVerso project, a cultural initiative connecting Turin University with the city and the surrounding territory, offering culture accessible to all.

Maria Callas, an American-born Greek soprano, was one of the most renowned and influential opera singers of the 20th century.

The “Icona Callas” program includes an international conference with the title “Maria Callas at 100: Opera, Celebrity, Myth”, four exhibitions, a concert, a film festival, and masterclasses by prominent figures in the world of art and culture. The initiative aims to portray Maria Callas using as many languages and forms of expression as possible.

At Palazzo del Rettorato in Turin, the exhibition “Seven Deaths” is being held until February 29, 2024. It offers a video immersive experience featuring the reinterpretation by performance artist Marina Abramović of the deaths of protagonists from seven opera shows: Carmen, Tosca, Otello, Lucia di Lammermoor, Norma, Madama Butterfly, and La Traviata. These moments were previously depicted by the artist in “7 Deaths of Maria Callas”, her live action performance that premiered in 2020 at the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich, Germany. The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Marina Abramović Institute.
