„CU TENDA” – STORIES, IMAGES AND SOUNDS ON THE MOVE [Living memory of southeastern Europe]
Start date: Oct 1, 2015, End date: Sep 9, 2019 PROJECT  FINISHED 

“CU TENDA” (“traveling with the tent”) proposes an insight into imaginary of cultures on the move from Southeastern Europe. Using as primary tools creativity and inter-connectivity, the project seeks to explore living memory of cultural and ethnic groups from the Balkans and South Italy, following a symbolic road through time and space. For this aim, the project seeks to: (1) facilitate access to knowledge about these cultural groups (researching/ documenting cultural history, finalized with documentary films and the creation of digital public archive and web-site, publications, large promotion and dissemination); (2) encourage and support self-representations and creative manifestations of own identity of these groups (through theatre play, creative workshops); (3) encouraging communication and true interaction between these cultures and between majority and minority groups (interactive exchange visits with multiple goals, interactive exhibitions and intercultural workshops/sessions);The core concept of the project is the challenge to envision and experience heritage, especially intangible heritage, through a multitude of perspectives, methods, disciplines (anthropology/ ethnography, museography, photography, visual arts, performance arts, craftwork, music etc.). Based on this view of interdisciplinarity as an essential, complex instrument which aids understanding and true encounter with "the other" (cultural groups), the project will support mobility and circulation of knowledge and creative capital (artists, cultural professionals cooperating and performing trans-nationally) in order to discover and contribute to European common shared values.The project will also include an audience development strategy, focused on attracting new cathegories of public towards experiencing living memory of ethnic groups of SE Europe. Through this, a greater awareness on issues of cultural diversity and minorities is expected on European level.
