Rec>ON

European artistic and civic cooperation project between

Armenia, France, Germany and Turkey

With the support of The European Commission - Eacea Culture Programme Strand 1.3.5.: Cooperation Projects With Third Countries

How can we change the focus of a sensitive European debate, too often restricted to political arguments, to open it to a new dimension with citizenship and art?

How can we enable citizens from four very different countries to take on the question of reconciliation, in order to transform it into an open, stimulating work of art?

The focus of the project is to enable collaboration between artists, young people and representatives of civil society from Armenia, Germany, Turkey and France. The final aim is to create a common discussion around the creation of a multi-disciplinary show with the participation of the audience’s members.

The project will take place in each partner’s country from January 2011 to the first months of 2012.Throughout this shared experience, European citizens as well as citizens from near by countries, will try to free themselves from geographic borders and historical and psychological barriers to think over together what reconciliation truly means.
