The
website
www.art4change.info
is a networking tool for artists,
activists, development-organisations, and various groups and
individuals working with socio-political issues around the world. The
idea of the site is that new ways of approaching - and working with
socio-political issues globally can be developed in cross disciplinary
cooperation’s between art and various fields and professions.
The www.art4change.info website is a platform for exchange of
experiences in the field of art and collaborative works for social
change. The site is meant as a tool for networking between people and
organisations with interest and experience in art and social change,
and people confronting issues of globalisation and development.
We welcome contributions and initiatives to this site - like: articles,
contact information, project proposals, invitations for cooperative
projects, discussion and debate. Art4change would also like to link to
your site, if we have common interests.
We believe that artists can play an important role in corporations
within development networks, both globally and locally. We believe that
art can be used as a platform for freedom of speech. Art can be a tool
for raising social issues, highlighting taboos and challenging
structures in societies. We believe that art can be used as a political
tool within local and global cooperation. We see art as a vehicle of
possibilities for development organisations to forge cooperation and
become more independent in their means of expression.
We hope that you will spread the idea of art for change in your own
network. We welcome any ideas and experiences that you share with us in
this forum. We warmly welcome any experience and opinion.
Best regards
Art4change
