1. TRANSEUROPA 2017: Convergent Spaces<\/b><\/h2>\n
At the end of October, together with over 150 activists from all over Europe, we organised TRANSEUROPA Festival 2017 under the title \u201cConvergent Spaces\u201d together with our friends and partners from\u00a0Zemos98<\/a>. In the past decade, TRANSEUROPA has attracted thousands of participants through a decentralised event structure in over a dozen European cities and a high profile moment in one city. For the 2017 edition, Convergent Spaces, the main city for TRANSEUROPA was Madrid and it counted with the official support of the city council. The Festival ran over five days in October covering three main thematics: Europe as a refuge, Cities of Change and the Commons, through a mix of formats ranging from lectures, participative workshops, artistic interventions, performance, cinema, music and political debates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In 2017 Talk Real launched \u2018Talk Real \u2013 Art Real\u2019, a series of episodes about artistic projects and social practices from grassroots movements that aim to counteract the dominant discourses of crisis and threat in the so-called \u201crefugee crisis\u201d. Art Real counted with the moderation of Maragarita Tsomou, and with the participation of key speakers such as Oliver Ressler, Lucila Rodriguez Alarcon, or Navine G. Khan-Dossos. The series of episodes was part of our new project \u2018Re-Build Refuge Europe\u2019, a project that has brought together partners from the UK, Sweden, Spain, Finland and Germany, and Greece. The project has worked to produce innovative practices that could allow European citizens and refugees to work together on equal footing and learn from each other.<\/p>\n2.Art Real: shifting discourses about migration through art and culture<\/b><\/h2>\n
