State of the art
A toilet is a place where one thinks, often coming up with ideas or insights and, at times, where one reads or reflects. There is a toilet in every home or public place and it is often taken for granted. However, it is quite difficult to go to the toilet if it is located in a basement and one is in a wheelchair. Or, to find out how to flush it if one cannot see. Or, to dare wash hands using an intelligent faucet, if one has intellectual difficulties. With the help of artistic interventions, that immerse people actively into an emotional experience, the project would like to make better use of the time spent in the toilet by turning it into a transformative journey towards becoming more sensitive and compassionate people.
Description of the project
AAA. Accessible Art for All is a multi-targeted European project aimed at raising awareness on key messages for future European societies through arts and culture. Among those, climate change and environmental sustainability will be addressed through the festival "Toilets for Future"., in Rome (IT). Specifically, the festival will be connected to Fridays for Future, the movement initiated by Greta Thunberg and linked to the EU environmental priorities. Several cultural organizations are moving plastic-free, and museums must play a role in achieving this goal.
Through toilet art and dedicated local festivals, AAA Art for All will deliver in 5 cities important messages for current and future European societies.
Creative Europe’s support
Cooperation with other European organisations is beneficial because, by working closely together, project partners have had the opportunity to grow as individual organisations and as a partnership: learning from each other, sharing ideas, suggestions, and good practices; offering different visions of the issues addressed by the project trying to find a common vision, which is European.
Beyond Environmental Sustainability
In summer 2021 the project will implement 5 festivals in 5 different partner countries to launch and spread important messages on the themes of climate change and sustainable development as well as on the fight against bullying and discrimination, the importance of being European Citizens and on social inclusivity and equality, by giving voice to underrepresented groups, such as women, migrants and people with disabilities.
