¡n[s]urgênc!as ist eine professionelle Netzwerkveranstaltung und Orientierungsprogramm zwischen lateinamerikanischen Künstler*innen und Vertreter*innen der Berliner Kunstszene.

Es zielt auf Newcomer in Berlin ab, die aus einem politisch unruhigen Umfeld stammen. Das Programm soll Künstler*innen unterstützen, die aufgrund ihrer kritischen künstlerischen Praxis ihre Karriere in ihrem Heimatland nicht fortsetzen können. Das Programm ist als eine Reihe von Begegnungen mit Expert*innen konzipiert, die die Teilnehmer*innen in das professionelle Netzwerk Berlins integrieren und ihnen helfen, ihren künstlerischen Ausdruck im kreativen Kontext Deutschlands zu positionieren.

Das Programm, auf das über einer öffentlichen Ausschreibung zugegriffen werden kann, bietet 20 ausgewählte Künstler*innen die Teilnahme an: einem Kommunikationsworkshop und Mentoringseminar, einem Portfolio-Review von spanischsprachigen Kunstexperten mit Sitz in Berlin, einem professionellen Diner, einer öffentlichen Präsentation mit Berliner Kunstpublikum, Präsenz bei der Schaffung eines digitalen Archivs politischer Kunstwerke aus Latin-Amerika (insurgencias.net).

Das Programm wird von AGORA Collective e.V. – Center for Contemporary Practices in Berlin organisiert, zwischen 15-30 September 2018, mit Unterstützung der Berliner Senat im Rahmen des Finanzierungsprogramms “Weltoffenes Berlin 2018“, unter der Leitung von Kuratorin Paz Ponce (Agora Collective) in Zusammenarbeit mit Daniela Labra und dem Netzwerk Kap Hoorn (Latin American Artists Platform) als Kooperationspartnern.

Did you know about ARA? The Artist-Run Alliance is organized by the Alfred Institute for Art and Culture, and the ARA idea grew out of their work as an independent, non-profit art space in Tel Aviv. The supportive community necessary to coordinate the activities of an artist run initiative will be extended through a broader context, in effect cultivating a collaborative ecosystem of creative professionals.
There is a map with initiatives, you can sign up and become part of ARA with your organization and projects!
