Presentation & Workshop ART IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA by CCP Fellow Ashot Danielyan

Many thanks to the poet, musician & art activist Ashot Danielyan from Tashkent (Uzbekistan) introducing our participants to the importance of multidisciplinarity and community in the new Uzbek art scene. He was sharing his “experience of developing art projects inside of aggressive conservative environment and censorship, and principles of creativity and inspiration search.”

The presentation was followed by a poetry and empathy workshop within the Studio Program at BAI | Berlin Artist Residency, Art School, Arts Incubator, and Live Online Courses & Classes.

For his fellowship at the Berlin Art Institute Ashot Danielyan got a scholarship for participating in the CrossCulture Program (CCP) by ifa (Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations). BAI has been his host organization in 2022.

“With the CCP Fellowships, the CrossCulture Programme (CCP) funds professionals and committed volunteers from up to 40 countries each year. During two to three months of work-related stays in host organisations in Germany or CCP partner countries, participants deepen their expertise, establish new contacts and acquire intercultural skills. In turn, the host organisations benefit from the expertise, regional knowledge and networks of the CCP Fellows. Participants can also attend transcultural workshops, networking and professional events hosted by the CCP. After returning to their daily working lives, participants then bring the experience they have gained into their home organisation.” (Text by courtesy of ifa)
