Private Nationalism
Start date: Jul 15, 2013,

The series of events that is Private Nationalism will approach the topic of nationalism from a unique, Central European perspective with the tools of contemporary fine arts and its reactive-critical attitude towards societal-cultural processes and conflicts. This unique point of view thematises the nationalist discourses that have gathered strength in the post-Socialist countries in the last 20 years. Nationalism as such has different character here than in Western Europe – one example is the differences in immigration in the two regions.The goal of the project - apart from casting light on conflicts and problems - is to propose arguments and visions that promote the symbiosis of cultures living next to each other, the beauty of acceptance, of peaceful co-existence, and to seek to solve societal challenges and cultural conflicts. The project will be led by an 8-member international curatorial team and will comprise 40 artists from 15 countries. The main goal of the project is to finalise a traveling exhibition presented in six countries. An international artist-in-residence programme will offer an interesting "frame" to the project, comprising 15 artists from all six countries (partners receiving residents: SpaceGallery, SL, ApartmanProjekt/TR, Ostrale/DE, AAA/HU)Workshops and a conference will offer a discursive background to the project, and will contextualise the phenomenon of nationalism from art-historical, aesthetical, anthropological, sociological, gender, political scientific points of view. The exhibitions will be complemented and by a museum paedagogical - artistic communication programme ( workshops for kindergarten-age, primary school children, adults). The professional materials will be elaborated jointly with the partners through a workshop/seminar. We will discuss the experiences of the project during an international conference in Pécs. Several independent media surfaces will be created – web, social web, catalogue, CD-ROM, flyers.
