Through these dimensions, trans-making aims at fostering the links between art and culture, economy and democracy, at EU level and beyond.
Trans-making’s result will be a network of research and innovation staff active in the fields of placemaking/place-based art activities as a space to create alternative narratives for social, economic and democratic renewal.
# SECONDMENTS
The project is based on secondments – a period of one month or more – spent by the participants in the project – from a sending partner to a hosting partner. The objective is to strengthen research capacities through the exchange of knowledge and expertise.
A total of 276 secondments are planned throughout the 4 years of the project – they will be transdisciplinary – from the academic to the non-academic participants of the project and vice-versa as well as international – from 3rd Countries to Europe and vice-versa.
China, Cuba, Chile, Egypt an Morocco are the countries that will be involved – where the question of public spaces has very different meanings and is of different nature.
Around 100 researchers/staff members will be involved, coming from very different backgrounds and disciplines :
economy — cultural and social entrepreneurship — art — architecture — design — urban planning — cultural theory — digital technologies — law — human rights — social justice — criminology — history — identities — migration — geography — art-based research — cultural politics — cultural planning — anthropology
