First European events of Tania Bruguera\u2019s Hannah Arendt Institute for Artivism kick off TRANSEUROPA Festival 2015<\/strong>
\nEvents in London, Rome, Paris, Lublin and Belgrade part of transnational festival of art, politics and culture<\/em><\/p>\n

September 24, 2015 \u2013 On Saturday, September 26, five European cultural institutions will host reading performances of Hannah Arendt\u2019s The Origins of Totalitarianism. The events are part of the 2015 TRANSEUROPA Festival<\/a>, a festival for arts, politics and culture, co-organised by European Alternatives and the Belgrade based Ministry of Space.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the midst of what media and politicians call the \u2018migrant crisis\u2019 or \u2018refugee crisis\u2019, when people are defined with a title that implies they are never arriving or welcome anywhere, Hannah Arendt\u2019s reflections on statelessness, asylum seekers, the violence of the nation, political action and freedom of expression resonate more than ever.\u201d Said S\u00e9gol\u00e8ne Pruvot, European Alternatives Arts and Culture Director.<\/p>\n

The Cuban artist, activist and European Alternatives board member, Tania Bruguera, inaugurated the Hannah Arendt Institute for Artivism in May of 2014 in Havana with a 100 hour reading of The Origins of Totalitarianism. At the time, Bruguera was prevented from leaving Cuba after being arrested during a public performance. Over the course of several months, she faced regular interrogations by the police.<\/p>\n

The reading performance is hosted by the Plateau\/FRAC \u00cele de France<\/a> in Paris, London’s Rivington Place<\/a>, Maxxi Museum<\/a> in Rome, the War and Peace exhibition in Lublin, and the Center for Cultural Decontamination (CZKD)<\/a> in Belgrade. Logistical information for each event can be found at transeuropafestival\/why-artivism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TRANSEUROPA Festival culminates in a five day programme<\/a> in Belgrade, starting Oct 1. Over 50 contributors, artists, intellectuals and activists will join the discussion on Europe’s present and future. Amongst them are human rights lawyer Renata Avila, philosopher Sre\u0107ko Horvat, political scientist Ulrike Gu\u00e9rot, author and activist Brett Scott, theatre director Angela Richter and Guardian journalist Nabeelah Shabbir.<\/p>\n

TRANSEUROPA Festival is free and open to the public. Download the PDF press packet<\/a>.<\/p>\n
