Watercolour map of Europe and West Asia

Cycle 01 — Europe × West Asia

One question.
One cycle.

The programme turns a political question into artistic trajectories, professional relations and economic capacity.

01

Political question

Why, despite the depth of its cultural, economic and human ties with West Asia, does Europe struggle to build an autonomous and lasting political capacity in a region whose crises directly affect its societies and economy?

Working geography

Relationships to build, not partnerships to invent.

ARTELOGIA is studying European cities and cultural venues that may enter the programme. Institutions under consideration are not presented as partners until an agreement is confirmed.

Public status: research, institutional dialogue and partnership development. Oman–France discussions remain at this exploratory stage as well.

Enter the cycle

The dialogue begins with a concrete work, venue, capability or resource.
