2019-2021: We are Europe - Act 2

The 8 artistic teams that make up We Are Europe have come together once more, this time to choose its fine selection of 64 personalities from across Europe. The selection of these cultural figures will play a central role in shaping the project’s activities in 2019, in Europe and beyond.
 

We Are Europe is a unique and innovative cooperation project, aiming to group together and develop synergies between 8 European cultural structures spread throughout the continent, each of which organises both a contemporary music festival and a forum addressing wider issues relating to the evolution and future of culture, particularly in the field of creativity. These 8 tandem festival-forums – vehicles for projects and ideas; major players in the fields of electronic, independent, digital and contemporary culture – are key components of the European cultural scene. They espouse the common values of cultural and social open-mindedness, artistic implacability, an unwavering commitment to youth, innovation and the emergence of new talent, and the mobility of audiences, ideas and artists. They have been working together for 3 years, co-curating and collaborating on the line-ups for festivals and forums, and thereby laying the foundations for a new community of cultural actors in Europe: open and progressive, motivated by the desire to inject our shared journey with fresh meaning, and to defend a positive image of Europe.

For this new 3-year cycle, We Are Europe welcomes a new partner onboard : Unsound and Unsound Discourse, from the Polish city of Krakow.

The 8 partners who will write this next chapter in the We Are Europe story are as follows:

— the c/o pop Festival and c/o pop Convention forum in Cologne, Germany
— the Unsound festival and Unsound Discourse forum in Krakow, Poland
— the Elevate festival and Discourse & Activism forum in Graz, Austria
