Details:
VJ Land aims at supporting the innovative practice of VJing in Europe, and provide artists & youth workers with new digital tools for social inclusion. VJ Land consists in 2 trainings, in Czech Republic and Turkey, designed for young artists & social workers to learn how to use VJing for social change and work with youth at risk and young refugees through VJing workshops and performances! VJing is the art of manipulating and animating digitalized visuals to create a live performance, the same way that DJing is the art of selecting and manipulating digitalized audio to create a live concert. VJs create and play with digital images in realtime, projecting them in specific spaces in synchronization to music and/or dance. This results in a live multimédia performance that can include music, actors, dancers and art installation. VJing is a ‘total art form’ that encompasses music/sound, visuals, digital tools, a site-specific installation and interaction between artist, audience and space. Our main objective is to teach our participants how to use VJing as an educational tool for young people, especially refugees, to think about space appropriation as a way of inclusion, self-expression and social commentary. To achieve our goal, we plan to bring together a group of 20 youth workers and young artists from 5 countries, train them to the innovative digital technique of VJing in Czech Republic, and then give them the possibility of using it as a tool for social inclusion with young refugees in Turkey. Our training in Czech Republic will focus on a beneficiary group of youngsters practicing graffiti. By learning VJing and developing VJing performances, the youth workers and artists participants will offer those youngsters a legal and harmless way to channel their creativity and engage them in citizen participation by creative appropriation of public spaces. To engage this target group and give our training participants a chance to apply their newly acquired competences during the training, we plan for them to animate a workshop for youngsters of the art school of Karlovy Vary. Then, a few months later, a second training in Turkey will give the opportunity to our participants to develop and implement a longer workshop with youngsters from Syria, Irak & Kurdish communities in Mardin. By leading the participants and their workshop group to create and present a VJing performance in Karlovy Vary and in Mardin, we also hope to participate in creating free public activities for the local community; engaging rural development by using local spaces as performing spaces; helping youngsters developing their own citizen initiatives; building a community feeling by using visual elements from the city and its inhabitants in a performance created and performed by its youngsters, helping to develop the relationship between youngsters and their city and spreading the pluridisciplinary artistic practice of VJing!
The specific objectives of the training are as follows:
• Learn the technique of VJing and its use as a tool for social change;
• Providing participants with an opportunity to share best practices on using digital and performance art for empowering young people that are already being implemented by participating organizations;
• Exploring the potential of VJing for engaging young people at risk of social exclusion, especially young refugees.
