Art Territoire Habitant est un laboratoire itinérant en Tunisie qui s'offre comme un champ de réflexion et d’expérimentation artistique : un laboratoire artistique permettant d'engager, à partir du déplacement, une réflexion sur les bouleversements a l’œuvre en Tunisie. A l’heure où les sociétés arabes sont traversées par de profonds changements, toute entreprise culturelle est portée par la créativité collective qui se fait jour dans l’espace public. Ainsi la question des territoires et de leur développement devient une priorité et pour que ce développement soit possible et durable, il est capital de prendre en compte les spécificités de chaque territoire, de promouvoir la créativité et l’innovation. Mais cette créativité n’est possible que si l’on prend en compte la voix de la jeunesse, cette majorité trop longtemps minorée, qui a toujours montré une avidité très grande pour le savoir et la création. La jonction entre un processus artistique et un territoire offre la possibilité au citoyen de s’impliquer dans une forme originale de développement de son propre territoire et de replacer l’art dans la vie. Cette démarche artistique valorise et met en exergue le caractère expérimental, et inédit du processus à l’œuvre. Face au reflux qu’incarnent les islamistes, nous entendons marquer notre vocation critique et notre souci de la complexité à l’encontre des régressions, des tensions et des surenchères idéologiques. Dans ce contexte l’art, la recherche regagne une vocation de nécessité et d’avant-garde de la société.

This project is the follow-up of an earlier project that Coolpolitics and its partners developed in 2011.

Coolpolitics want to facilitate an exchange program for journalism students in Turkey and in the Netherlands. The aim of the project is to enhance the students' understanding of the challenges and opportunities in reporting about the European Union (enlargement) and other related issues such as religion and European identity formation. As such the project aims to build bridges between the participating schools of Journalism in the Netherlands and the Turkey. Young journalism students are provided with the opportunity to develop important practical journalistic skills of reporting in a very different cultural, political and societal context. The final aim of the project is to achieve intercultural awareness and durable journalistic networks between Turkey and the Netherlands.

The project provides the Turkish and Dutch students with the opportunity to go beyond their 'ordinary' fields of action by focusing on investigative journalism skills. These practical skills are usually not part of journalism curricula in both countries. In this way the project creates a network of critical young journalists producing news related to European integration, globalization, international cooperation, sustainable development and human rights. This is especially relevant since the program takes place at a time when attention on European integration and identity formation is under threat.

Cooling Conflict is a creative, democratic approach to dealing with conflict and bullying, involving whole schools and their communities: the model has been extensively researched and practised in Australia over 8 years. The Cooling Conflict: Young People in N. Irleland and Palestine aims to enable young people in both contexts to build an in-depth partnership to share their experiences, practice and aspirations in dealing creatively with conflict.

Through bringing young people from N. Ireland and Palestine together in a year-long partnership, within the frameworks of both the Global Indra Congress and the Derry UK City of Culture celebrations, the project seeks to address crucial issues of common interest in the wider region. i.e. young people dealing with problems of conflict and difference, fostering cross-cultural dialogue and creating a model of practice for developing meaningful partnerships and ongoing relationships with their peers across the region. The project also encourages ongoing dialogue between the participants and wider Indra partners in Greece, Portugal et al, provide a model of practice and give us a platform to extend the network more widely across the region.

Dream City 2012-2013, Tunis - Sfax - l’Estaque (Marseille), est un projet artistique interdisciplinaire mis en place au travers d’un réseau de partenaires méditerranéens visant à développer le dialogue culturel entre différentes communautés. Par le biais de l’art, il défend l’affirmation et la nécessité de préserver des identités culturelles, politiques, économiques et sociales multiples contre des systèmes de pensée unique ou de pouvoirs dominants. Il s’appuie sur un dispositif socio-artistique mené dans l’espace public par l’action collective au profit de chacun et sur un temps long de réflexion qui invite à explorer et approfondir les rencontres. Il s’agit de démocratiser l’art contemporain, d’inclure le citoyen dans le processus de création artistique et d’impliquer l’art au service de la citoyenneté. Autrement dit, Dream City tente d’inventer un système qui mette en valeur la relation entre l’individuel et le collectif dans la région méditerranéenne pour créer de meilleures conditions de vie, de cohésion sociale et d’entente entre Nord et Sud. En investissant artistiquement sous forme de parcours dans l’espace public, il offre aux créateurs et aux citoyens un espace et un temps communs propices à l’échange, à la rencontre directe et à l’élaboration de nouveaux symboles et récits. Dans une région partiellement en (re)construction, ce projet veut favoriser le développement de nouvelles formes d’engagement entre artistes, habitants et public par la recherche, le débat, l’expérimentation et la création in situ. Il explore la polysémie du mot « liberté»

Démocratisation de l’art contemporain en espace public
Promouvoir / produire des artistes méditerranéens
Echanger des regards, des œuvres et des méthodes d’intervention artistique sur l’espace public de part et d’autre de la Méditerranée

Améliorer le vivre ensemble par un projet commun entre une association tunisienne et une association française qui croisent regards et analyses, méthodologies communes et propositions artistiques dédiées au dialogue interculturel.
Démocratiser l’art contemporain pour un changement social durable et l’échange entre les peuples et les pays
Défendre un art citoyen et participatif conscient des réalités sociales et politiques et de l’histoire
Développer des échanges humains et économiques par des allers-retours entre les deux rives (résidences artistiques, débats publics, développement des scènes artistiques, rencontres avec les habitants)
Promouvoir la diversité culturelle de pays méditerranéens
Affirmer l’espace public comme lieu de liberté, de mixité, d’expériences et de citoyenneté
