Art / culture / economy to democratize society. Research in placemaking for alternative narratives

At a time when Europe has to address key challenges, such as radicalization and migration, there is an urge to create a new narrative for Europe. Research in humanities and social sciences may help create this new narrative. Specifically, there is an urgent need to better understand the role of culture in defining « public space » and the role of culture in enabling or problematizing cultural integration, whilst respecting diversity. The trans-making project aimed to establish a multilateral network of research and innovation staff active in the fields of placemaking / place-based art activities as a space to create alternative narratives for societal and economic renewal. The objective was to strengthen research capacities, through the exchange of knowledge and expertise between academic and non-academic partners from Europe and Third Countries in a shared research programme. The project's main conclusions are the needs to renew the terms of the public debate on art and public space. In that aim, new types of artistic, cultural or research competencies for the academic and non-academic world must be further fostered and developed. The political dimension (in the sense of a judicious, diplomatic, and reasoned way of acting) of cultural actors draws thus the emergence of a function of “diplomacy”, i.e. a capacity to hold all the terms of the public debate and to share it.

Project objective

The project trans-making aims to establish a multilateral network of research and innovation staff active in the fields of placemaking/place-based art activities as a space to create alternative narratives for social, economic and democratic renewal.It will investigate and experiment with placemaking to contribute actively to the democratization/well-being of society, educating and empowering individuals and disadvantaged minorities through research and production in the connection between art and new technologies.The objective is to strengthen research capacities, through exchange of knowledge and expertise between academic and non-academic partners from Europe and Third Countries in a shared research programme focused on: collecting, documenting / Exploring, experimenting / Performing / Designing. Trough those work programme of Research and Innovation, the consortium, academic and non-academics partners, aims to foster links between art and culture, economy, democracy and innovation at EU level and beyond. To foster entrepreneurial skills, risk taking adaptability, innovation capacity (economic, social and democratic). And it will contribute actively to education and empowerment of individuals and disadvantaged minorities trough research and production between art and new technologies.The project through its consortium will be to foster a better understanding and knowledge sharing between scientific community, stakeholders and policy-makers. Which will be achieved with the respective networks of the involved partners. The final aim of trans-making will be to establish a long term collaboration among the partners in order to have a scientific and innovative worldwide community devoted to the research, (including art-based research), innovation, education activity in the matters concerned by the project. Moreover, the proposed measures of the project will be conceived in order to have the widest possible impact of the society.
