On February 19, the selected artists met online for the first time to discuss expectations, past experiences, and the challenges of co-creation in artistic production. They emphasized the importance of community engagement, aiming to amplify local voices and reshape perceptions of cultural spaces. Key topics included balancing artistic vision with institutional requirements, building trust, and the need for extended time within communities to foster meaningful connections.
Their reflections align closely with AHEAD’s values and intentions, reinforcing the project’s commitment to collaboration and inclusivity. We’re thrilled to welcome them and look forward to discovering the prototypes they will co-create with local audiences.
