Alliance of International Production Houses

At the heart of ›IMPACT19 – Weaving Traces‹ are positions which, through very different practices, initiatives and actions expose interventions and discrimination in the political sphere, in urban and island structures, in ecological contexts, as well as in the body.

The invited artists Ingrid LaFleur, Meg Stuart, Silke Huysmans and Hannes Dereere use advanced activist and investigative, spiritual and physical as well as political and technological practices in their work. They all mobilise spaces for action and trigger the conception of essential utopias.

Coming together, thinking together and discussing new ways of taking action – the artists of IMPACT meet the participants in a concentrated and open-minded atmosphere.

What do strategies of empowerment and transformation look like – collectively and individually? Where does artistic work interface with urgent ecological and ethical questions of our time? Episodes will be freely developed by the artists together with the participants.
This transdisciplinary symposium is aimed at practitioners and theorists from the fields of the performing and visual arts, science, journalism, technology, political activism, social work and architecture.
