laBOMBAstudios si Active Watch va invita

la dezbaterea publica

“NASCUT IN RAHOVA”

De la Declaratia Universala a Drepturilor Omului

la spatiul de creatie comunitara laBOMBA

Eveniment realizat cu sprijinul Ambasadei Tarilor de Jos la Bucuresti.

Organizatorii doresc sa puna in discutie sansele Artei Active de a restructura tesutul social in arii urbane defavorizate. Initiative de acest gen, sustinute de societatea civila, pot avea un succes partial, dar, in lipsa integrarii in programe sistemice sustinute de administratia publica, beneficiile pentru comunitate risca sa ramana minore. Asteptam de la participantii la aceasta intalnire idei, propuneri, experiente care sa ne ajute sa ne intalnim cu alti parteneri sociali relevanti. In cadrul dezbaterii, participantii vor discuta despre inexistenta spatiilor de creatie comunitara, lipsa unor politici publice in acest sens, folosind ca punct de plecare aparitia laBOMBA-Centrul Comunitar pentru Educatie si Arta Activa Rahova-Uranus. Se va lansa, cu aceasta ocazie, conceptul de Arta Activa, concept care a stat la baza tuturor actelor de creatie comunitara in zona Rahova-Uranus. Dezbaterea va fi moderata de Mircea Toma, presedinte Active Watch. ActiveWatch-Agentia de Monitorizare a Presei este o organizatie de drepturile omului care militeaza pentru comunicare libera in interes public.

Ofensiva Generozitatii este o initiativa care desfasoara proiecte de arta comunitara / arta activa in zona Rahova-Uranus, din anul 2006. Comunitatea Rahova-Uranus reprezinta proiectul-pilot de aparitie a metodelor si practicilor de arta activa, pe care Initiativa intentioneaza sa le poata disemina ulterior in comunitati cu profil similar. Toate eforturile Initiativei au fost sustinute de Comunitatea de Creatie LUM in care activeaza voluntari, experti ai vietii de zi cu zi, artisti, grupari artistice, cat si ONG-uri. Active Watch este ong-ul care a inainte ca Initiativa sa dispuna de primele formatiuni organizate (O2G si laBOMBAstudios) sub care activeaza in prezent, a furnizat expertiza pe diferite problematici sociale si comunitare cu care artistii s-au confruntat in proiectele: Harta Sensibila, Construieste-ti Comunitatea! Si pentru dezbaterile publice Coltul Vorbitorului / Speaker’s Corner.Timp de trei ani, Ofensiva Generozitatii a experimentat in zona Rahova-Uranus practici de Democratie Participativa. Artistii implicati in proiect si-au asumat rolul de mediatori intre comunitatea Rahova-Uranus si autoritatile locale, generand spatii de dezbatere publica - Coltul Vorbitorului / Speaker’s Corner: Summitul Evacuatilor I/II ; Ai cui sunt evacuatii?; De la Arta Activa la Cetateanul Activ. Initiativa Ofensiva Generozitatii, alaturi de comunitatea Rahova-Uranus, a depistat si a formulat problemele de natura economica, etnica si sociala cu care aceasta comunitate se confrunta. Dintre cele mai stringente mentionam: lipsa de sanse egale in educatie; fenomenul marginalizarii, lipsa accesului liber la cultura. Prin intermediul proiectelor si programelor implementate deja, Ofensiva Generozitatii si-a propus dezvoltare comunitara in zona Rahova-Uranus. Totodata metodele si practicile descoperite si utilizate in proiecte, dezvolta pentru Comunitatea de Creatie a Initiativei conceptul de Arta Activa. Acest concept este pentru prima oara aplicat in Romania.

On the occasion of International Day of Human Rights

Creative Community,

laBOMBAstudios and Active Watch invites you

on Thursday, December 10, 2009, -17.00

to the public debate

“BORN IN RAHOVA”

From the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to the creative community space laBOMBA

An event organized with the support of Embassy of Netherlands in Bucharest.

The organisers wish to address the chances of active art in restructuring the social tissue within under-privileged urban areas. Such initiatives, supported by civil society, can have a partial success, however, lacking integration in systemic programmes sustained by public administration, benefits for the community run the risk to remain minor. Ideas, suggestions and experiences are expected from the participants of this meeting in order to help us meet other social relevant stakeholders. During this debate, the participants will talk about the non-existent creative community venues, the lack of public policies in this field, using as a starting point laBOMBA – Community Centre for Education and Active Art Rahova-Uranus. On this occasion, Active Art concept will be introduced, a concept that was the ground for all community creative acts in Rahova-Uranus area. The debate will be moderated by Mircea Toma, president of Active Watch. ActiveWatch-Press Monitoring Agency is a human rights organisation that advocates for public interest free communication.

Ofensiva Generozitatii is an initiative established in 2006 that carries out creative community projects/ active art projects in Rahova-Uranus area. Rahova-Uranus community represents the pilot-project of methods and practices for active art, that the Initiative is intended to disseminate within other similar communities in the future. The initiative has been fully supported by LUM Creative Community where volunteers, day-to-day experts, artists, artistic groups and NGOs are involved. Active Watch is the NGO that provided expertise on several social and community issues that artists tackled with for the following projects: Sensitive Map, Build-up your Community! ; and public debates for Coltul Vorbitorului / Speaker’s Corner. For three years, Ofensiva Generozitatii has experienced Participatory Democracy practices within Rahova-Uranus area. The artists involved in the project acted as mediators between Rahova-Uranus community and local authorities, generating public debate spaces - Coltul Vorbitorului / Speaker’s Corner: The evicted tenant’s Summit (Summitul Evacuatilor) I/II ; Ai cui sunt evacuatii?; From Active Art to Active Citizen. Initiativa Ofensiva Generozitatii and Rahova-Uranus community have jointly detected and drawn up the economical, ethnical and social issues that this community deals with. The most severe ones are: lack of equal education opportunities; phenomena of social marginalisation ; lack of free access to culture. On the basis of the already implemented projects and programmes, Ofensiva Generozitatii has set up community development in Rahova-Uranus area. At the same time, methods and practices discovered and used within the projects, have developed the Active Art concept for the Creative Community. It is the first time this concept has been applied in Romania.
