Call for Co-Creation: Artistic actions on democracy and togetherness

Within the Common Spaces Network, 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.

Each year, one grounded initiative will be selected and supported. Each year, we will shift the lens — different urgencies, different entry points.
