CLOSED: Call for co-creation: artistic actions on "Democracy and Togetherness"
Within the Common Space- The network project, we invite two Trans Europe Halles (TEH) members to come together in a short co-creation action — to activate a participatory artistic intervention that reflects on the fragile ideas of Democracy and Togetherness.
By focusing on fragile notions of democracy and togetherness we invite you to re-examine concepts that may seem strong in theory but often prove difficult to implement in practice due to specific political, social, or economic conditions.
Each year, one grounded initiative will be selected and supported. Each year, we will shift the lens — different urgencies, different entry points.
What we offer?
1500 euros of support (VAT included) can cover one or several of the following:
- Travel and mobility costs
- Artist fees and production needs
- Venue or space usage
- Tools, materials, or tech support
- Community-based activities and involvement
Who can apply?
You can apply if you are :
- Trans Europe Halles (TEH) members
- Application should involve at least 2 members of TEH (from different centers/organizations)
- Proposing actions focused on participatory artistic interventions reflecting on Democracy and Togetherness
- Applying with an initiative that may already be in progress but could benefit from additional support or an expanded reach
Timeline
Deadline for applications: 15 September 2025
Selection: End of September 2025
Action taking place by: 15 December 2025
Short reflection/report to follow: 15 January 2026
