This interactive session will be co-facilitated by IETM's PIC group and the AREA-network. The session will delve into the overall themes of the IETM Aarhus Plenary Meeting by focussing on two participative practises of artists working in rural areas. The group will then explore the presented material through a collaborative process, developing creative actions in response to themes that at times feel beyond our capacity. 

AREA-network supports arts in rural areas by creating exchanges of experiences, researching working methods and stimulating the advocacy on a local, regional, national and European level. AREA includes all disciplines. Members of AREA are artists, creators, organisers, policymakers and scientists. 

The Participatory and Immersive Creation group (PIC) aims to provide a space for IETM members to tackle central issues we have in creating, presenting and producing this genre of work, through open discussions, experience sharing, and creative exchanges.

The Artists working group invites you to a session - Can Artists Sustain Sustainable Art?

Initiated at the Belgrade Plenary in 2022, the Artists working group is a network of IETM members who identify primarily as artists. The group addresses topics connected to the performing arts sector from an artists’ point of view. It aims to create positive dialogue with other professionals in the field, and - in this meeting - questions what kind of “sustainability” they want to pursue.

Environmental sustainability only exists in tandem with social and economic sustainability. Living on the Edge describes the precarity artists face. There is a gap between what the system asks and what the system affords artists.

Therefore - is the performing arts’ ecosystem in good health? Can we find ways of “re-greening” our working biosphere in order for it to flourish? We invite you to investigate these questions from a local, intercultural and transcontinental perspective through a creative game based on the World Cafe method.

An open discussion forum prompted by a series of short presentations, the session will also give you an opportunity to learn more about local artists’ practices and approaches to the creation of their work.
