Join Artcorps
Artcorps is like the Peace Corps but for artists. Through community arts projects, artists educate and inspire people to participate actively in improving the environmental, health, and social conditions in their communities.
‘Whose Play is it Anyway? - Conference
During last November’s festival, CAL also organized a working conference on the question of ownership in community art processes. Under the banner ‘whose play is it anyway?’, we explored this question in the context of community-based theatre, creative partnerships with schools, modern dance and theatre in social settings, refugee centres, and prisons. On the last day of the conference, we also brought schools for the arts and commissioning organizations such as prison wardens, municipalities and housing corporations into the discussion.
