In the framework of the CLARINET project, the Novapolis Association together with the Municipality of Constanta offers to Romanin creators and artists the opportunity to participate in a 10-day artistic residency program from June to August 2021 in Constanta, on the Black Sea coast.
The artists will work on the theme of migration and intercultural dialogue, having the opportunity to interact with the local community, authorities, NGOs, migrants and other relevant actors to produce artistic creations that will be used as creative elements for communication campaigns run by local authorities aimed at highlighting the positive contribution of migrants within the host communities where the CLARINET project is taking place. Selected participants will explore the daily reality of the local community, will research and will analyze critical situations, experiences, stories and perceptions of locals, cohabiting with new inhabitants, and will try to bring a new interpretation of what means the positive contribution of migrants to the host community, namely the municipality of Constanta and the region of Dobrogea, through their artistic vision. During their stay in the local community, the two artists will produce an original artistic creation that will be presented to the public.
