New Creative Europe partnership coordinated by Perpetuum Mobile (PM):
(AR/ER-ENCR)
AR/ER-ENCR is a residency-network designed to foster resilience in times of heightened threats to artists and cultural professionals – from the risks of war or terror, persecution or oppression, to the mondial ecological crisis. By strengthening, expanding and deepening the existing AR/ER Network, and reaching out across EU neighbourhood regions, this project develops AR/ER Residency practices designed for rest, respite and artistic freedom for endangered cultural professionals. These are places where artistic expression can flourish, and capacities and resources can be sourced and shared. It reinvigorates artistic, ecological and human-rights related activities of both residents and partner institutions fighting for our democratic future. In an era of geopolitical disruption and reconfiguration, European cooperation – internally and externally – is essential to promoting freedom of artistic expression and cultural resilience worldwide.
In the context of AR/ER-ENCR:
🏆 The new ARTISTS AT RISK PRIZE will be launched at the European Parliament!
