Transeuropa Open Turku

The event explores various facets of imagining, narrating and physically manifesting ‘the Other’ in contemporary European context. By the use of different community arts tools we invite our audience to challenge the topics of social injustice and inequality in everyday narratives and practices and encourage them to rewrite, reconstruct and finally to draw the concrete plans for transformations and changes in a form of live community dialogue.
