Invitation: LOOM Interweaving the Arts in Europe | European Alliance of Academies

Dear Students of the Universität der Künste,

LOOM Interweaving the Arts in Europe is an artistic project of the European Alliance of Academies, an transnational network of currently 68 art academies and cultural institutions from all over Europe, initiated by the Akademie der Künste in Berlin. They are all united by the will to stand in solidarity against nationalist appropriations in art and culture and to stand up for the freedom of art.

On Friday, December 16, 2 - 4 p.m.,12 young and international LOOM Fellows will present their artistic work to the attending representatives of European art and cultural institutions as well as young students and Berlin based artists. They represent ten young positions from our network that are dealing with cultural-political topics. Afterwards, there will be a discussion about the possibilities of artistic collaboration in the digital space. Prof. Norbert Palz, President of the Berlin Universität der Künste that is a member of the Alliance, will moderate the discussion; Prof. Kristoffer Gansing will give a theoretical input. Following the discussion, the LOOM Fellows will be available for a collegial exchange.

As a member of the European Alliance of Academies, we would like to involve the Universität der Künste in the future development of the platform and experience the perspective of young artists in this part of the event.

We cordially invite you to the meeting of the European Alliance of Academies, which will take place on December 15 and 16, 2022 at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin.

As the number of places is limited, we kindly ask you to register by December 12, 2022. In the attachment (left column) you will find the overall program, to which you are also warmly welcome. The entrance is free.

If you have any questions, please contact the project manager Mrs. Christiane Lötsch allianceofacademies@adk.de.
