Remapping Europe - a Remix project highlighting perspectives of young migrants
Start date: Jun 1, 2012,

‘Remapping Europe – a Remix’ is an investigative artistic project that aims to contribute to an inclusive cultural practice and public imagery in and of Europe by connecting young creative media-makers who have (im)migrant perspectives from Spain, Poland, Turkey, and the UK to wider European inter-generational audiences. The project’s activities stem from one underlying principle: re-mixing of media as a method to re-view, re-investigate and re-consider prevailing imagery of (im)migrants in European societies and to ultimately, ‘re-map’ Europe visually, geographically and mentally. The activities include transnational, cross-sectorial learning platforms, investigating the immigrant’s perspective in the public debate and imagery; creative remix ateliers in Spain, Poland, Turkey, and the UK involving 48 young digital storytellers with (im)migrant backgrounds and perspectives; international showcases of their remix works at significant cultural festivals in each of these countries and in an on-line media collection; major remix-performances and installations in Amsterdam and Seville, with a wider participatory, digital component involving European citizens across the continent and a research publication and catalogue documenting the processes and outcomes of the project. An important result of the project is the archival and creative exposure of present-day perspectives of young (future) citizens on (im)migration, as captured in creative media. It contributes to the European cultural heritage and is a future point of reference in our European collective memory.Remapping Europe – a Remix has been developed by a recently evolved informal unique European movement called Doc Next Network. It consists of the European Cultural Foundation (NL, applicant); ZEMOS98 (Spain, co-organizer); Creative Initiatives “ę” (Poland, co-organizer); Future Film - British Film Institute (UK, co-organizer) and MODE Istanbul (Turkey, co-organizer).
