ARTlantik - Sailing for Peace

We will create an art residency for 8 young artists on a 4 weeks sailing adventure crossing the Atlantic Ocean. We will amplify and facilitate the collaborative art creation through a creflective artistic dialogue, learn how to sail together and document our personal learning experience as an inspiration for the wider art community. We will share the outcomes of our art residency through a final exhibition, a movie being documenting the journey and a photo log book combining the personal stories with the art creation.

We wish to invite to our art residency 8 young artists (we a special focus on Ukrainian artists) from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to create a community to explore together how the connection to nature, the distance to the civilization and the limited space can support the process of creativity and build community.

Our aims are:
- empower young artists to unfold their creative potential in a collaborative group process

- dive deep into the process of collaborative art creation and the connection to nature as a source of inspiration
- learn together how to facilitate and amplify creativity in a collaborative art space
- reflect the role of art and young artists in a world full of crisis
