The project proceeds from the opinion that an open and truly democratic society is fostered through cultural dialogue, not only within itself but also across its borders. The project is conceived as widening the public space for critical discussion on contemporary art in and among 4 countries (Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina) to renew transnational cultural connections and reconnect to European common cultural space. The project aims to achieve this by strengthening critical reflection on contemporary art (art criticism) through educating young art critics, online and offline publishing of art reviews and essays, connecting various actors in the cultural fields of literature, visual arts and performing arts from these four countries and from the EU and by providing transfer of knowledge and experience by means of workshops, lectures and study visits. This is of particular importance at this specific moment considering the European Union prospects of these countries. Therefore, the project uses new technologies for reaching the widest possible audience in Europe and connecting it to the themes the project is concerned with. The project tackles three main themes: dealing with the past, social change and identity. These themes can be contemplated only in a trans-national context as their understanding requires taking into account interconnectedness of cultural, national, historical, political and ideological forces at work. The specific objectives of the project are:1. To create trans-national critical discourse on art in order to contribute to intercultural dialogue;2. To develop critical reflection on contemporary art production by facilitating mobility of people and cultural works;3. To facilitate the dialogue between artists and audiences by recreating the common cultural space;4. To promote European values, particularly intercultural dialogue, inclusion and participation, by means of increasing their visibility in online and print media.
