Detta konst- och utbildningsprojekt i form av ett dans/video laboratorium stödjer professionaliseringen av dans i Västra Balkan, genom att stimulera interkulturell och interdisciplinär dialog i samtliga länder från regionen och genom att uppmuntra framtida samarbeten mellan Sverige och Balkan. / This is an art and capacity building project which supports the professionalizing of the dance field in Western Balkans, by stimulating the intercultural and interdisciplinary dialogue in all countries from the region and by encouraging the further collaboration between Sweden, wide Scandinavia and the Balkans.

Art and Politics focuses on the artist's capacity of provoking critical thinking and questioning social and political facts. Artists Milica Tomic and Saskia Holmkvist were invited for a five day lab, which led to the presentation of a performative dialogue and a public talk with invited Serbian rooted thinkers, activists and artists.

For one week, 10 practitioners from Macedonia, Balkan region and Sweden came together in Skopje/Macedonia, exploring the possibilities that personal and impersonal narratives offer to the creation of art works.

Stockholmprojektet sammanfattar erfarenheter under arbetet med Black/North SEAS, en europeisk plattform för konst som har utvecklats sedan 2006 med generöst stöd från EUs kulturprogram. 18 konstverk/projekt har samproducerats och presenterats på okonventionella platser, i hamnstäder längs med Europas kuster. Temporära festivalstrukturer har anpassats till lokala sammanhang i 13 olika länder. / The Stockholm project summarizes the experience and knowledge inspired by, and connected to, Black/North SEAS, a European arts platform. Developed over a period of 4 years, SEAS was generously financed by the EU Culture Program. In 2003, Intercult initiated the European arts platform SEAS, which since 2007 has focused on artists and artworks from the Black and North Sea regions. Moving between harbour cities as a traveling festival, the platform was presented in cities like Odessa, Istanbul, Varna, Helsingborg/Helsingör, Tromsø, Göteborg and now – in september 2010 – in Batumi, Georgia. The focus of SEAS has been public space and unconventional performance venues (harbour warehouses, old cinemas, indoor galleries). We have found that new art spaces generate new audiences. We have found that artists are inspired by new relationships between place and art.
