Since taking over the direction of DAS WEISSE HAUS in January 2024, the BLOCKFREI Collective has integrated the projects of BLOCKFREI - Association for Culture and Communication into the DAS WEISSE HAUS programme.
(In)Visible Traces: Artistic Memories of the Cold War
BLOCKFREI in partnership with Documenta – Center for Dealing with the Past (Croatia),Erkenntnis durch Erinnerung e.V. (Bautzner Straße Dresden), ARAC – Association for Contemporary Art in Bucharest (Romania), Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb (Croatia) and the artist Andrea Kulunčić, within the framework of the Creative Europe program.
The primary aim of this project is to involve artists, art professionals, cultural heritage researchers, youth, educators, policymakers, and other European citizens in a reflection and discussion about European cultural heritage, particularly focusing on the preservation of historical buildings or now-vacant sites that testify to or illustrate the political history of the Cold War.

CALL FOR ARTISTS – STUDY VISIT IN ROMANIA AND ARTISTIC INTERVENTIONS
|
|
|
About the trip?
During the 4-day study visit in Romania, artists will visit several relevant sites such as the Pitești Prison Memorial (Arges County), demolished or moved churches and monasteries in Bucharest, Nucșoara (the home place of anti-communist resistance fighter Elizabeta Rizea in Arges County), and Mislea Prison (Prahova County). Guided by Professor Andreea Lazea, a professor at the West University of Timișoara, the artists will gain new knowledge about Romanian history, as well as the political, social, and cultural aspects of the Cold War period in the country. Additionally, the artists will receive guidance from Professor Andreea Lazea and visit selected locations and related museums. The study visit will take place from 18.09. to 22.09.2024.
All costs related to the study visit in Romania, including travel, accommodation for 4 nights, and meals, will be covered by the organizers.

Who can apply?
Emerging artists interested in the topic, coming from EU member states and other eligible countries for the Creative Europe program. The jury will select artists securing a balanced representation of diverse identities, backgrounds and experiences.
Artist collectives can apply for study visits and artistic interventions; however, only one representative of the collective can participate in the study visit in Bucharest. The budget will remain unchanged, as it was originally planned for just one artist to sign up.
Applying artists must be fluent in English, as the project will be conducted in this language.
