VISUAL ARTS PROGRAMME

The visual arts program is co-created in collaboration with the Coastal Galleries Piran, the Municipality of Piran, Glej Theatre, and the Boundary Crossing programme. / Program vizualne umetnosti soustvarjamo z Obalnimi Galerijami Piran, Občino Piran, Gledališčem Glej in programom Boundary Crossing.

Boundary Crossing is a programme that Glej Theatre had developed together with HKU University of the Arts Utrecht and Kadir Has University, Istanbul. It offers a multilayered methodology which supports artists in exploring the porous edges between theatre, visual art, and lived experience by navigating and negotiating multiple contexts. Its aim is to cultivate artistic practices that are grounded in collaboration, critical inquiry, and political sensitivity — values we carry into this year’s project.

Boundary Crossing je program, ki ga Gledališče Glej razvija skupaj z HKU – Univerzo za umetnost v Utrechtu in Univerzo Kadir Has v Istanbulu. Program ponuja večplastno metodologijo, ki umetnikom omogoča raziskovanje poroznih meja med gledališčem, vizualno umetnostjo in izkušnjo žive resničnosti, in sicer z navigacijo in pogajanjem znotraj različnih kontekstov. Njegov cilj je razvijati umetniške prakse, ki temeljijo na sodelovanju, kritični misli in politični občutljivosti – vrednotah, ki jih prenašamo tudi v letošnji projekt.
