PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Our proposal concerns the cultural exchange and the social impact as a consequence of the trade roads and the  mobilities across European countries and ports in the past centuries (e.g. the routes of Corinthian currant trade  during 19th and 20th century). We are looking for partners to implement a project that  explores different trade roads and valorizes this cultural  heritage in a creative way, including historical research, art M residencies, exhibitions of contemporary art, art education and cultural tourism
