consTRUCKtions – conNEXTions

Community, art and diversity
in a common Europe

This European cultural project, supported by the Culture 2000 Project of the European Union, will be performed in several European partner cities. The initiator and coordinator of the project is the Cultural Division of the City of Munich, together with the Monacensia Literary Archives in Munich; co-organizers and partners of the project are Soho in Ottakring (Vienna), the Theatre Institute and mamapapa (Prague), Metal Culture (Liverpool), Cola Production (Marseille) and Cosmos of Culture (Athens).

The central theme of this European project is migration - one of the main challenges in achieving a successful shape for the Europe of the future. Europe is faced with the task of actively and constructively defining ways of treating diversity and social and cultural changes that are accompanying it. Migration is an everyday phenomenon in today’s society and the project open here: ConsTRUCKtions – conNEXTions reacts on this theme from an artistic and performance perspective.

The project Behind the Marketplace, created specifically for Prague, will take place during the 4+4 Days in Motion festival. The aim of the mamapapa, Klub Hanoi and Centre for the Study of Migration is to establish contact with the Vietnamese community and create an awareness of the uncomfortable situation and the specific identity of the migrant who brings pieces of his own culture to his new environment and yet is forced to integrate into the new society.

Photographic exhibitions, film screenings, musical improvisations, discussions, etc. will assist in bringing the life and culture of the Vietnamese closer to us.
