CONNECTING CULTURES

Exhibition: October 1 - 15, 2022, Kurdology Center, University of Sulaimani

How can we create better mutual understanding? How can we build bridges between humans, cultures and traditions? In our opinion the answer is simple: bringing people together. Make them spend time together, exchange their ideas, concepts, worries as well as hopes. Art can serve as a great tool to foster exchange and mutual understanding.

With these workshops we try to create transcultural dialogue through objects as well as (hi)stories; through personal details of our lives and memories. Artists living in Europe collaborate with art students from Sulaimani, all of them share their experiences, memories and traditions. Together we can approach new ways of teaching, learning and understanding.

New ways and ideas of exchange should be developed. This process of learning and exchange will be featured in a final presentation – an installation, concert, exhibition, discussion…these first weeks should only be a start for further collaborations between international artists, institutions and students.
