Are you part of an independent cultural space from Southern or Eastern Europe? Are you interested in joining a translocal alliance that aims to positively impact the support and protection of independent cultural spaces?
Join our second “Next Generation of Cultural Spaces” community call on Thursday 27.10, from 18:00 until 20:00 CET hosted by Space of Urgency. The community calls are virtual meetings where participants from all over Europe join in a moderated discussion to tackle topics related to establishing and retaining independent cultural space.
In our second call we’ll discuss models for economic sustainability. We ask ourselves:
-
Which different income streams for independent cultural spaces exist?
-
How are these income streams connected to the values and functions of the space?
-
How are these income streams related to the external conditions?
What is it about?
Aim of the community calls: The community calls aim to ignite a robust, transnational artivist alliance between Berlin, Tbilisi, Sarajevo, South Tyrol and many other spaces and communities from Southern & Eastern Europe. This alliance will support the shared development of impactful tools for spaces that enhance self-reliance in times of crisis. The community calls contribute to a how-to guide on generating independent, political cultural spaces in Southern & Eastern Europe, to be delivered at the end of 2022.
Special note:
The NGOCS project was funded and created in 2021, before Russia´s war of aggression against Ukraine. The consortium of the NGOCS sees the already planned community calls as an opportunity to rethink/add to the original objectives and investigate ways to aid Ukrainian spaces and their communities in urgency.
