Our goal is to create a better understanding of challenges, goals and errors and to work towards more open and inclusive art mediation and museum practices.<\/p>\n

This part invites artists and practitioners who created art mediation sessions for specific exhibitions or art works using out-of-the-box tools and methodologies aiming to address vulnerable communities and people outside of the general audiences of the arts. For this panel several art mediation sessions of the former OFF-Bienn\u00e1le will be introduced. In the end of the panel a round-table will be mediated with the facilitators in order to discuss how successful their outreach was, what challenges and errors they encountered and what are their questions, doubts or ideas to overcome those.<\/p>\n 11:00-11:30 Egl\u0117 Mikalaj\u016bn\u0117:<\/span> “A Colleague from another Tribe.

The aim of this session is to get to know the perspective of those working with specific vulnerable communities on a longer term, not necessarily with artistic tools. Our guests will speak about their experience on how they work together with their groups and how arts and external mediators could be introduced into these contexts. Our goal is to create a conversation and discuss goals, mistakes and possible solutions together.<\/p>\n 14:30-15:00 M\u00e1t\u00e9 Lencse:\u00a0 <\/span>Board game pedagogy at Toldi Tanoda and beyond\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 15:00-15:30 Panni V\u00e9gh, Olga Irimi\u00e1s, P\u00e9ter Klausz: <\/span>Artemisszi\u00f3 and Mira – Intercultural and artistic practices as tools of social integration<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 15:30-16:00 \u00c9va Preszl:<\/span> Self-Knowledge Filmmaking Workshop with underprivileged youth\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 16:00-16:30 Zita Cs\u0151ke:<\/span> <\/span>Keszty\u0171gy\u00e1r Community House – At home in J\u00f3zsefv\u00e1ros<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 17:00-19:00 Interactive Roma led walk by UCCU<\/p>\n <\/p>\n November 25.

From music to movement, live-action role play and performing arts, we invite practitioners of diverse methodologies they use to co-create with the people they work with. The case studies will shortly present the chosen methods, processes, target groups, obstacles and outputs of the speakers. The session will end with a world caf\u00e9 format try-out of the mentioned tools and methodologies, facilitated by the speakers of the panel. Participants of the conference will be able to try out different co-creation processes in a small scale, to have a direct personal experience of the tools and impacts of what has been presented before.<\/p>\n 10:00-10:30 \u00c9va Bubla:<\/span> The scent of common creation<\/span><\/p>\n 10:30-10:50 <\/span>Egl\u0117 Nedzinskait\u0117: <\/span>“Where Are the People?” – When teenagers become\u00a0 curators, architects, designers and marketing strategists of the exhibition.<\/span><\/p>\n 10:50-11:10 Dalma Tokai: <\/span>Common Vibe – Music is for everyone<\/span><\/p>\n 11:10-11:45 B\u00e1lint M\u00e1rk T\u00fari: <\/span>Creating Parallel Worlds\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 11:30-13:30 Two Brain’s More Than One | collective brainstorming<\/p>\n In the last and most participation-based part of the conference, we will create diverse groups, each of which will include participants of the conference, and speaker-facilitators from all of the above sessions. The groups will gather their experiences and thoughts of the previously learnt methods and learnings and together come up with a smart goal and an action plan to implement their new ideas and knowledge into their practice. The aim of this session is not to create a specific mediation activity, but to open up different perspectives, share ideas and inspire each other to use new ways to reach our audiences.<\/p>\n 13:30-14:30 Lunch<\/p>\n 14:30-15:00 Sharings and learnings of the previous session<\/p>\n 15:00-15:30 Closing<\/p>\n 16:00\u00a0 Women in Power – We will not remain invisible \/ Guided tour of the exhibition. at Keszty\u0171gy\u00e1r Gallery<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The goal of the Women in Power group is to help women with disabilities to strengthen their female identity, express and show themselves, connect with each other and others, and break out of invisibility by organizing events and art projects.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The event is supported by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The project \u2018From Complicated Past Towards Shared Futures\u2019 is a collaboration between the Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art in Riga, the National Gallery of Art in Vilnius (Lithuanian National Museum of Art), OFF-Bienn\u00e1le in Budapest, Muzeum Sztuki in Lodz, and Malm\u00f6 Art Museum.
