The ART-ACT-DIRSRUPT project presented a series of workshops for CSOs, youth workers and artists.
The project is a partnership between YEU Cyprus and ABR.
Over the course of each 3-day workshop, participants explored diverse forms of public interventions through artistic practices. They gained an understanding of the distinction between cognitive and conservative approaches during the intervention creation process, as well as learn about audience engagement strategies, amongst other topics.
The training involved a hands-on approach regarding how art can be used as a protest mechanism in various ways and is open to CSOs, activists, informal groups and artists. The training concluded with conceptualization exercises for Artivism proposals.
The Art.Act.Disrupt project benefits from a grant under the Active Citizens Fund Cyprus programme, funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, through the EEA and Norway Grants 2014-2021.
