IN/VISIBLE CITY
Start date: May 1, 2011,

“IN/VISIBLE CITY” is a campaign consisting of set of activities that use theatre and culture with an aim to help in promotion and improvement of minority rights by making the different minority groups and their cultures more visible. The cooperation between four theatres (DAH Theater from Serbia, Teatret OM from Denmark, Prodigal Theatre from UK and Art Media from Republic of Macedonia) began in early 2009 after the success of the first “In/Visible City” in 2005 in Belgrade, and of the second “In/Visible City” in five cities in Serbia in 2008 (winning the ERSTE Foundation Award in 2009). DAH Theatre decided, as we are all facing the same problem with discrimination and violence against racial and ethnical minorities and their social exclusion, to bring this Action from local and national to more European level, especially after success of the pilot project in Norway in 2007-2008. This Action aims to achieve following:Raise public awareness about the rights of minorities, tolerance and equality - By using theatre event in a public transport where local and In/Visible City artists will perform together. Empower minority groups to defend their rights and cultural identity - Encourage them to express themselves in the most creative way. Provoke public dialogue about the rights of the ethnic minorities -Media will play important role in transmitting the messages from the Action. Educate young people in tolerance and ethnic minority rights – by offering them tools which are close to their spirit: theatre (dance, music, multimedia performances, etc) and art / culture in general. Besides, with the text of the performance, they will gather information from discussions on the Round Tables. Involve local and international actors, creative people and human rights and minority organisations in the Action – Open towards other countries – We are in negotiations with Germany, Spain, Italy and Albania related to their participation in the project.
