Community (non)conference – a day when communities, artists, and stories came together under one roof
Getting together has enormous power. And that's exactly what we experienced at this year's Community (Un)conference, the first part of which was devoted primarily to the Magic Carpets project. It brought together artists, students, teachers, the queer community, Ukrainian women and children, a forest kindergarten, and an art school in one space. The second part was devoted to other participatory projects that took place this year as part of the European Capital of Culture 2020 and which were intended for people or created directly with people. For example, Obraz pro moje město (A Picture for My City) or Monumentum DA. We presented the standards that we are incorporating into the program in the area of accessibility and the volunteer community. For many, it was a rare opportunity to gain insight into the work of others – and at the same time to share their own stories, experiences, and joys.
