Trans Europe Halles
CityArts has been an active member in Trans Europe Halles since the early 1990's. Trans Europe Halles is an network of independent cultural centres with 49 members in 25 countries, providing a stimulating platform for exchage, support and co-operation between independent and multi-disciplinary cultural centres.
All of the organisations in Trans Europe Halles have their own distinguishing features; however they share the same spirit of support for new talent, innovation, young artists and cultural exchange. Many of the network's centres have been pioneers in providing opportunities for young people to utilise and develop their artistic skills and challenging the common cultural policy.
The projects undertaken in the Trans Europe Halles network are conducted within the local context but provide an international perspective. They address artistic and social issues and aim to promote co-operation and understanding between European cultural organisations.
Recent projects include the touring exhibition 24 Hours in Europe. Photographers, artists and amateurs from all TEH centres were invited by Kulturzentrum Schlachthof to participate with their personal photographic view of twenty-four hours in Europe. The leading questions of the call for entries were: How do we live in Europe? What defines our social and cultural dimensions? Which distinctive characteristics and peculiarities define our daily routines?
