EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME
Experimentation and prototyping revolving around mediation In 2021 we continue to advance the 20192023 Programme Project, attending to cultural mediation as a transversal practice in programming and also as a process of shared reflection. The purpose is for people to establish an active relationship with the space and what happens in it, approaching it through reflection, conversation, debate, action... It aims to go beyond the merely artistic or cultural, and foster new experiences around art. For this reason, mediation is integrated into the very idea of programming, in dialogue between
agents, artists and groups involved with all public communities and in all activities, and always from a local and international perspective. To this end, a process of experimentation and prototyping has been initiated in collaboration with two multidisciplinary cooperatives focused on artistic education and cultural mediation, Artaziak and Tipi Gara, dedicated to social transformation in the field of cultural mediation.
Artaziak Artaziak will undertake an investigation into the possibilities, potentialities and opportunities which exist for Azkuna Zentroa to continue developing its mediation work in a more conscious, positioned, transformative manner, and in accordance with its projectprogramme. This process is divided into several phases. On the one hand, a comprehensive diagnosis will be carried out which, based on a specific theoretical framework, will examine both Azkuna Zentroa as well as other inspiring agents of the environment. And on the other hand, a series of conclusions, core ideas and objectives will be drawn up, to specify key lines of action. Finally, a selection of these actions chosen in collaboration with the centre will be compiled in a report. This will be a tool shared between Artaziak and Azkuna Zentroa to be used with the purpose of extending the work that is already being carried out. ARTAZIAK is a social project. They work on cultural diversity and difference, and contribute to the fostering of critical sense in people in order to create cultural, political and social changes.
