The Festival of the New European Bauhaus will bring together people from all walks of life to debate and shape our future. A future that is sustainable, inclusive and beautiful. It is a great opportunity to network, exchange and celebrate – from science to art, from design to politics, from architecture to technology. The Festival will feature debates, great speakers, artistic performances, exhibitions and networking opportunities and place the European Green Deal at the heart of our daily lives. It runs 9-12 June 2022 in Brussels, Belgium.
Artists across creative disciplines, countries and at any stage of their career are invited to submit an application to participate in this event. As a melting pot of perspectives and disciplines, the NEB will be a fertile ground for fermenting ideas on initiatives that connect the European Green Deal to our living spaces and experiences.
By joining the event physically In Brussels, you will have the opportunity to be part of a large citizen oriented cultural event that gives voice to passionate individuals, communities and organisations who wish to share their visions and engage with a wide audience at a local level with a broader reach.
Your proposal of an artistic performance, exhibition or participatory activity should reflect the New European Bauhaus core values:
- Sustainability in environmental terms, from climate goals, to circularity, zero pollution, and protecting/improving biodiversity.
- Aesthetics, including quality of experience and style, beyond functionality.
- Inclusion, valorising diversity, equality for all, accessibility, and affordability.
It should also relate to at least one of the thematic axes:
- Reconnecting with nature.
- Regaining a sense of belonging.
- Prioritising the places and people that need it most.
- Fostering long term, life cycle and integrated thinking in the industrial ecosystem.
If your proposal is selected, it will be integrated in the event programme and will be pinned to the interactive map that will guide visitors through the various places of exhibition, performance, creative activities or moments of conviviality at the festival. You can propose an activity or performance regardless of whether or not you have a corresponding exhibition or performance space in Brussels. For those who do not have their own space, shared spaces will be offered with a common format.
In addition to the coverage of travel expenses, a flat fee might be allocated to the selected activities to contribute to the remuneration of artists depending on their needs.
