HKB looks beyond its own city limits
Under the title "HKB goes ashore", Bern University of the Arts (HKB) is inviting around 350 Bernese communities to submit ideas for cultural and artistic projects to be realized in collaboration with HKB lecturers and students.
Taking into account the local infrastructure, historical, linguistic or cultural peculiarities of the community or on the occasion of a current issue, forms and vessels for artistic implementation are to be developed together: Whether cinematic searches for traces, concerts, art installations, cultural education programs in schools, literary work, restoration work in public spaces or exhibitions - in castles, stables, allotment gardens - there are many possibilities and ideas for fruitful collaboration, writes the HKB.
The local population, local businesses and local authorities should actively participate in the project - as direct contributors, hosts or audience members. At the same time, HKB students and lecturers are given the opportunity to break out of their familiar surroundings, get to know a different part of Bern and demonstrate their skills there.
The aims of the experiment are direct encounters, cultural exchange between urban and rural areas, mutual insights, discovery and joint cooperation. The results of the projects will be presented both in the municipalities and in the city of Bern, and their development will be documented and accompanied by media.
