The 4 Cs From Conflict to Conviviality through Creativity and Culture, a European Cooperation Project co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, coordinated by Universidade Católica Portuguesa with several cultural international partners, is now online. You can follow the activities of the 4 year project on the website and also on facebook.

4Cs: From Conflict to Conviviality through Creativity and Culture is a European Cooperation Project co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. The 4Cs seeks to understand how training and education in art and culture can constitute powerful resources to address the issue of conflict as well as to envision creative ways in which to deal with conflictual phenomena, while contributing to audience development through active participation and co-production. The project aims at advancing the conceptual framework of intercultural dialogue and enhancing the role of public arts and cultural institutions in fostering togetherness through cultural diversity and intercultural encounters.

The European Commission has acknowledged that tackling the migration and refugee crisis is a European obligation that requires a comprehensive strategy and a determined effort. Within such framework, the European Commission has emphasised the role of culture and the arts in contributing towards building a more cohesive and open society through the integration of refugees, helping them to better understand their new environment and its interaction with their own socio-cultural background.

Grounded in the belief that culture and creative practice can emerge as powerful resources in conflict situations, the 4Cs wishes to respond to this challenge by exploring the ways in which culture and the arts can help bring individuals together within a model of intercultural dialogue, mutual recognition, and equal participation. This will be achieved by fostering equal involvement and by promoting cross-cultural collaboration through the creation and development of different activities such as exhibitions, artistic and research residencies, film screenings, mediation labs, workshops, conferences, publications, an online platform, and a Summer School.

The 4Cs aims at responding to the challenges of migration, security, and freedom of expression by raising awareness about the role of creative and cultural work in the strengthening of European identity and European citizenship in a project of peace and conviviality. The 4Cs will support community members in their role as active agents in the cultural scene at local, regional, national, and international levels and contribute to a lasting change of attitude and active citizenship in local communities.

TALK WITH AIMÉE ZITO LEMA + DJ SET JORI COLLIGNON 

Saturday, January 27th, 16h30 – 19h30
Rua das Gaivotas6, Lisboa
Free Admission 
The talk will be held in English

Chair: Isabel Carlos
Curatorship (residency and exhibition): Luísa Santos, Ana Cachola and Daniela Agostinho

During her month-long residency at Rua das Gaivotas 6, Aimée Zito Lema (n. 1982, NL) has developed research on memory and the intergenerational transmission of events through material history and the human body. Through a methodology anchored in critical analysis, the artist conducted interviews with researchers, organized workshops with a group of teenagers (together with Pedro Penim, from Teatro Praga), and observed the work of Grupo de Teatro do Oprimido, in order to question the role of the body as agent of transformation and understanding of social histories.

In conversation with curator Isabel Carlos, Aimée Zito Lema will present her artistic practice and the research she conducted during the residency. This research will materialize into a project room at Gulbenkian Museum in June 2018, as part of the eight chapters of the exhibition of 4Cs: from Conflict to Conviviality through Creativity and Culture, an international cooperation project coordinated by Universidade Católica Portuguesa and co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
