Press Release, Racconti di guerra e pace in realtà aumentata (ARTWP) coming to Beaugency and Bourges
Racconti di guerra e pace in realtà aumentata (ARTWP) is an 18 months long artistic co-creational project. The project is a collaboration between 4 cities: Roskilde in Danemark (WoWiWo), Leopoli in Ucraina (the public library), Cosenza in Italy (Associazione Oltrezona) e Beaugency in Francia (sule). The next phase is about to be rolled out in France, Beaugency and Bourges, from november, 28 to december, 9 – 2023.
You can meet the artists, contribute to and experience the art in three places :
-Wednesday 29th of november 2023, at 20:30, Théâtre le Puits-Manu, Beaugency for a meeting between the ARTWP team and the public collecting stories of war and peace.
-Friday the 8th of december 2023, at 15:00, Place etienne Dolet, Bourges for a presentation of works in progress in the public space
-Saturday the 9th of december 2023, at 15:00, Place du Martroi, Beaugency for a presentation of works in progress in the public space
I partner rappresentano le città più piccole, tutti lontani dalle loro capitali. Anche se negli ultimi tempi hanno spesso collaborato tra loro su progetti artistici 23 anni, they agreed – in reaction to the on-going war in Ukraine – that there was an urgent need to work, per la prima volta, su un progetto condiviso durante il quale tutti i partner rifletterebbero, e rifletterci sopra, non solo questa guerra specifica, ma il concetto stesso di guerra – e la nostra comune ambizione per la pace.
ARTWP è quindi concepito come un progetto di sviluppo dell'arte digitale, in cui le storie vengono raccolte da coloro che lo sono (o lo sono stato) nel mezzo della guerra, così come chi vede la guerra “da fuori”. Durante 4 X 2- workshop settimanali in ogni città, le storie raccolte verranno sviluppate come racconti in realtà aumentata (ARTE), con 12 artisti esperti, 12 giovani artisti volontari e fino a 600 cittadini locali che lavorano insieme utilizzando l’AR, testo, musica, animazione, arte visiva, video e audio.
The artworks will be placed on large squares or public spaces in the four cities. The public will be invited to – with the help of our geolocation augmented reality app – to discover these works on the abomination of war and the need for peace and everything in between on your smartphone or tablet.
The war, as we all know, is not over yet, but we still have our weapons – our words and our art – in our hands, in our hearts and in our souls. It has never been more important than today to meet around our common humanity. And it is precisely in such situations that art can play not only an important role but, hopefully, a pivotal role.
