Katherina Radeva

Date: From Saturday, 16 May 2009 to Sunday, 17 May 2009

Location: Performance Space

Ticket Prices: Free (booking essential)

Are you an artist who works internationally, or are you interested to explore the possibilities of international artistic encounters?

 

INTERNATIONALE is a two-day social event that will creatively explore and generate critical thinking and political awareness around artistic international encounters.  Using an Open Space approach to discussion, artists’ presentations and a creative performative laboratory, INTERNATIONALE aims to develop and contribute to the visibility of the transnational artistic network in the North West of England.

 

Supported and in partnership with New Work Network (NWN), INTERNATIONALE is a free event open to artists and arts professionals who are interested in exploring these themes.

 

Participants need to book a place in advance and are expected to commit for the whole two days. NWN is offering travel bursaries (up to £30) to 6 members based outside Liverpool to attend INTERNATIONALE.

 

INTERNATIONALE has been organised by NWN collaborator Lorena Rivero de Beer in response to NWN’s International Pool project developed by NWN Associate Clare Thornton.
