ArtsGeneral Information
As “Studio for Hybrid Culture” we work at the intersection between art, art education, social art and activism. We develop and implement regularly own artistic, educational and curatorial projects, often in cooperation with partner organizations from different sectors of society. A particular focus of our work is on media work as a tool for sharing visions and experiences, both within and outside the (institutionalized) art context. Through the creative use of audio-visual media, we promote social participation and support the creation of counter public spheres (Gegenöffentlichkeit). With our project activities we want to communicate those visions that are not taken into account by mass media and mainstream culture.Mission and Objectives
With our activities we bring an innovative vision to field of art and audio-visual media: those visions and the visions of those who are not taken into account by mass media and mainstream culture. We offer members of various communities means and creative space to express themselves and develop a self-conscious artistic point of view. We create awareness around issues that are not examined by traditional media and not represented at official cultural institutions.Main Projects / Activities
(1)In our current social art project we work with youth on the topic of subcultural self- expression, using urban art forms such as Hip Hop and Graffiti. (2) In our video classes we introduce migrant youth and children of migrants to powerful tool for telling their stories and make them heard. (3) In our artistic and curatorial work we search for new roles and meanings of artistic in our society, within and outside the institutionalized frame.How can you contribute to the Network in your country?
We have experiences for years in trans-cultural project work. As artists, activists and cultural scientists (Kulturwissenschaftler) we can contribute to the interdisciplinary practice in the field, but also bridge between art and culture, civil society and academic discourse.Why do you want to join the ALF Network?
As founding members of ActiveVision Tel Aviv we are active since many years in an ALF network organization. Since we moved to Berlin we also would like to continue our social art activities within the German network .
