With the UTOPIA SYMPOSIUM 2019- OUT IN THE FIELDS, we continue the UTOPIA – series that started 2013  as an international Symposium of the Arts for artistic exchange and international cooperation on Lanzarote. This year the UTOPIA SYMPOSIUM will take place in the most southern place in Spain, Tarifa, where our partner organisation is located since the end of 2017. Tarifa is located at the opposite side to Tanger in Morocco on the african continent.

International artists, students and art educators of all art disciplines are invited to exchange ideas in an active artistic dialogue. The aim is to investigate behaviors that shape from artistic processes out to their applicability in the real world. The detailed description and registration can be found in our PDF (540 KB) in Jan 2019.

THE UTOPIA SERIE
How can we, acting as artists, intervene insocial and/or political processes? How can we create room for our intellectual approach in the area we are living outside. With the crisis in Europe  we will ask ourselves whether and how we develop utopias as art-creatives and if impulses for another perception will be able. Besides, not the results are primarily important but working actively together on a subject, exchanging ourselves, taking notice,…. etc.
These questions could be a starting point to create. We will also get to know places of the surroundings, getting to know artists living nearby, etc. . Starting points could also be special aspects of the surrounding, Europe, tourism, sustainability…) as well as personal aspects (dreams, images of ideal places…) which the participant artists allow to kick with each other in the dialogue.
