Participatory Art for Invisible Communities (PAIC)

PAIC_logo_Water_drop10_edited-kvadrat_edit-text_Verdana_Black_Mm Participatory Art for Invisible Communities” involved 4 partners from different EU countries in the development of multidisciplinary and multimedia participatory art activities with the ambition to “artistically instigate social change in deprived, alienated, isolated or remote communities”. The artists from various countries were invited to work in different locations (Komiza, Vis, Croatia; El Remei in Vic city and neighbourhood, l’Herm in Manlleu town and neighbourhood, Spain; Nova Gorica, Slovenia; Soro, Denmark). The creative activities were meant to become relevant to future cultural policies in relation to the targeted communities, and enriched identity and cultural capacity of people in those communities.

Aims

1. ESSENCE
* To provide unique and enriching artistic and creative experiences for as many people as possible.
* To improve right of access to culture and creative works.
* To develop new way of thinking about art at the intersection of society.

2. INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIVE OBJECTIVE
* To create transnational collaborative cultural space and an ARTISTIC PLATFORM for mobilizing deprived communities toward social, cultural and economic development boosted by innovation and creativity.
* To reveal and reinforce the synergies that arise as a result of cross-disciplinary collaboration, making best use of learning opportunities present before, during, and after cultural and artistic experiences.

3. NATIONAL OBJECTIVE
* To increase communities’ knowledge of the heritage and museums within their local cultural region helping them to become engaged and critical users and thereby enrich people’s identity and their cultural capacity development.

Method

Through the synergy of culture, creativity, art and education the new tools were created and implemented that promoted and encouraged the creativity of individuals as a means for social actions and raised their aspirations and achievements. These tools were developed social, cultural and intellectual capacities and competencies of the target groups and beneficiaries and enabled them to become culturally and socially competent and creative thinkers and creators, capable of developing a culture that is able to survive – renewable culture.
