With this purpose we invite artists and curators who work and/or live in Berlin and Salvador to share their impressions related to the artistic production that transits through these two places, which are especially dynamic and pulsating. The proposal we share is to build a “cartographic conversation” around our key question: What is insurgency today? / Where and how does insurgency manifest itself in contemporary art practices? These projects are partnered as two transatlantic archives which thematically touch on #decolonial perspectives, #newnarratives #diversity, #diaspora and #resistance. Our 2 organizations selected 2 projects to exchange knowledge and experience to devise such collaboration: & fricções e fluxos. The networking meetings will be directed to share research approaches between the partners, map emerging artists in both contexts, identify funding sources and facilitate initial networking between artists, curators and activists. Supported by Kreativ-Transfer funds, this 2021 edition is a cooperation with Intervalo Fórum de Arte, a research lab of the Federal University of Bahia, with the perspective to coproduce a (post pandemic) culture mobility program between Brazil and Germany (2021/2022).
