“Feria de Fronteras”: a new musical and visual performance about borders and cultural identity within a new Europe. Musicians and visual artists from the Eurometropole Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai and the Balkan-regions work together on an innovative and creative dimension for intercultural dialogue.
Date du début: 1 mai 2011,

‘Feria de Fronteras’ is a new cultural and multi-disciplinary project proposed by four cultural partners coming from Belgium, France, Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The idea is to set up a creative but well structured, multi-disciplinary and artistic performance about borders, mobility and cultural identity in different European regions between May 2011 and April 2013. ‘Feria de Fronteras’ will not only launch a discussion about the impact of borders on young artists coming from countries such as Bosnia-Herzegovina or Serbia, it will also invite people from other European regions to consider the impact of borders in their own lives. ‘Feria de Fronteras’ primairily be an artistic project consisting of two aspects: the musical creation ‘Tijuana Tango’ and a visual installation-exhibition ‘Viva Visa’. Both creations will come together in the performance ‘Feria de Fronteras’ and will be imbedded in a global process that will be followed by two photographers and two documentary makers from the different regions. Finally, at the end of the project, the entire performance will be presented as a CD-DVD-pack and will be shown on the regional TV-station from the four regions.The project will give an opportunity to young artists from the Balkan-regions and the Eurometropole-region to collaborate and to expand new artistic forms across the borders. ‘Feria de Fronteras’ will also stimulate the discussion about the integration of Balkan-regions within the EU. More precisely, our project wants to underline the importance of intercultural dialogue and mutual respect. Instead of the unilateral impose of rules to Balkan-regions, our project also wants to show that existing EU-regions can benefit from collaborating with Balkan-regions in a constructive and positive way, bringing together the important cultural and historical background of all artists engaged. ‘Feria de Fronteras’ wants to contribute to the global cultural heritage within the EU.
