CREATE TO CONNECT -> CREATE TO IMPACT – closing event
closing event
Nine years ago, together with nine partners, we conceived the international project Create to Connect, in which we sought new connections between artists and audiences and established new public spaces through art. In 2018, we expanded the partnership and upgraded the project to Create to Connect -> Create to Impact with fourteen international artistic and scientific organizations.
In it, we explore the influence of art in society, the meaning and value of our work through the prism of social changes, opening up new spaces, empowerment, and emancipation. The Create to Connect -> Create to Impact project is coming to an end at the end of August this year, but the cooperation between the partners continues, perhaps also in the new project called Create to Permeate. But first, we take the time to look back.
At the dynamic closing event, we will talk about what we have succeeded in; we will present the new book Social Impact in Art and Culture: The Diverse Lives of a Concept, edited by Iva Kosmos and Martin Pogačar and published by ZRC Publishing House and Bunker; and in the end, we will have the opportunity to see the interventions of the artists with whom we collaborated the most in the project.
