The Culture Lobby is a regional, artistic initiative which aims to create an ‘active archive’ of cultural memory in the Western Balkans. This web-based project documents what citizens think will change or disappear when their territory joins the European Union.
In cross-border cooperation on a regional level, arts organizations throughout the Western Balkans are collaborating in an exchange of local artists whose task it is to collect the subjective views of citizens in the cities, towns and villages of a participating country that is not their own. The answers collected, photographed and displayed will act as a barometer of the concerns, fears and aspirations of the citizens of the Western Balkans, providing them the opportunity to participate in the creation of an alternative cultural history as an artwork in itself.
The recorded results will be produced and publicly presented as an online archive, a book, a unique mobile gallery exhibited in public spaces of the country capitals, and as a downloadable GPS map with which people will be encouraged to navigate the art (and thus the region) physically.
The Culture Lobby is part of the British Council’s Creative Collaboration programme and is coordinated by Kiosk.
