In times of increasing social polarization, local artistic initiatives are gaining importance. These projects often take a multidisciplinary approach, involving local communities, diverse fields of knowledge, and public spaces. In this way, they create opportunities for encounter and promote dialog between different groups. At the same time, they are often under pressure from observers and have to stand up to criticism.

What is the scope for interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and socially engaged art practices? What approaches and models are there? How do artists and participants gain practical strategies for action and methods for civil society resilience through collaboration?

Introduction and moderation: Christine Düwel and Doris Weinberger (project leads and members of the IGBK board)

Outlook and farewell: Teemu Mäki (President of IAA Europe, Artists' Association of Finland).
The event aims to facilitate direct exchange, foster knowledge transfer, and strengthen European networking. The event will be held in English.

The IAA Europe Talk is presented by Internationale Gesellschaft der Bildenden Künste (IGBK) and IAA Europe.
