Press Release:\u00a0TRANSEUROPA Festival 2015 calls on political movements to go beyond fragments<\/strong><\/p>\n

Europe-wide festival of politics and culture culminates in Belgrade, Oct. 1-5<\/em><\/p>\n

September 10, 2015 \u2013 The unfolding \u201crefugee crisis\u201d in Europe demonstrates in brutal detail the consequences of Europe\u2019s fragmentation. From Greece to Calais via Hungary and Ventimiglia, rising nationalism is causing countries to retreat from joint challenges and to remilitarise Europe\u2019s borders. While underscoring the ineptitude of regional and national governments, the events of the last week demonstrated the breathtaking power of civil society.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere governments were bureaucratic, European civil society was responsive. Across the region, networks sprouted and united online and on the ground to support refugees who themselves were empowered to challenge European borders,\u201d said Daphne B\u00fcllesbach, a Director of European Alternatives and co-organiser of the festival. \u201cAt TRANSEUROPA, we\u2019re mobilising the people who make this kind of change happen to move further beyond defragmentation to build a new Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

“We are excited to have this lively debate in Belgrade,” adds the Ministry of Space collective, the local co-organizer of the festival, “as it is the place that vividly experiences many European policies, struggles and dilemmas, but also hypocrisies, including the refugee crisis, austerity measures, megalomaniac projects and new kinds of movements.”<\/p>\n

The festival programme<\/a> is divided into three themes: new forms of politics and movements, alternative economies and the commons. Contributors include artists, activists and leading thinkers such as philosopher Sre\u0107ko Horvat, political scientist Ulrike Gu\u00e9rot, activist and Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde, author and activist Brett Scott, theatre director Angela Richter and Guardian journalist Nabeelah Shabbir.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with artist and activist Tania Bruguera, who serves on EA\u2019s advisory board, the festival will highlight the interconnectedness of art and activism through the Why Artivism?<\/a> performance. The performance is a transnational reenactment of Tania Bruguera\u2019s marathon reading of Hannah Arendt\u2019s The Origins of Totalitarianism during her detention in Cuba. Readings will take place on September 26 in Belgrade, Rome, Berlin, Lisbon, Paris and Warsaw.<\/p>\n

With Serbia the new route of choice for so many refugees, a number of artistic performances to be held in Belgrade are particularly timely: a documentary performance on Europe\u2019s relationship with \u201cotherness\u201d, a photography exhibit illustrating the crossing of EU borders\u2019 barbed wire and a night of Syrian poetry-in-exile.<\/p>\n

Throughout its seven year history, the festival has called upon participants to imagine, demand and enact a new Europe. Never has this call been more urgent than today: mounting crises, many self-made and re-erecting of borders such as yesterday when only those with a German, Swedish or Danish passport were allowed to enter Denmark across its southern border, show an alarming reversion to a Europe of nationalism and borders. TRANSEUROPA Festival is about the other Europe: the one that is unified and borderless and not defined by the EU.<\/p>\n

TRANSEUROPA Festival is free and open to the public. International participants who need it may seek support for their accommodation in Belgrade.<\/p>\n
