Promotion of the book Cultural Diplomacy at Bitef
We are inviting you to the promotion of the book “Cultural Diplomacy: Arts, Festival and Geopolitics” within the first day of Bitef!
Join us in discussing about international cultural cooperation and get your copy of the book.
Speakers at the promotion will include Milena Dragićević Šešić, professor at FDA, Vida Ognjenović, writer and a diplomat, Ivan Medenica, Art Director of the Bitef Festival and Dimitrije Tadić, Head of the Creative Europe Desk Serbia.
The book Cultural Diplomacy: Arts, Festivals and Geopolitics, ed. Milena Dragićević Šešić in cooperation with Ljiljana Rogač Mijatović and Nina Mihaljinac, is a joint project of the Creative Europe Desk Serbia and the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade, which together with the Bitef Festival organised last October the conference: Bitef and Cultural Diplomacy: Theatre and Geopolitics. The conference shed light on the importance of Bitef as a festival taking place on the boundary between the East and the West, a platform where different cultures meet, by examining the activities of Mira Trailović and Jovan Ćirilov which positioned Belgrade on the global theatrical and political map.
The book brings texts dealing with key questions of cultural diplomacy (soft power) in the light of new geopolitical relations: culture of fear, humiliation and hope (Mojsi), re-examining the importance of ideology and political activity which instrumentalises culture. Authors, coming from Great Britain to South Africa, Argentina and Turkey, wrote about challenges of contemporary multi/unipolar situation, deepened by economic crisis and migrations on the one hand, and political populism on the other one. A larger number of works dealt with the role of festivals, and in particular Bitef in these processes, possibilities of intercultural dialogue, and leading the so called bottom-up cultural diplomacy.
The second part of the book represents results of expert “working groups” held separately for different cultural fields (music, performing arts, literature, etc.) in April 2016 at the initiative of the Creative Europe Desk Serbia. Apart from the promotion of the programme itself, the Desk also initiates projects of wider importance for the development of international cooperation of the cultural sector in Serbia; hence, the goal of every working group was to reach specific recommendations for the development of international cooperation in Serbia. These results were published in IV chapter, and V chapter offers an overview of international cooperation of cultural organisations from Serbia (2010-2016).

Aerowaves is a hub for dance discovery in Europe. We identify the most promising new work by emerging dance artists and then promote it through cross-border performances. Aerowaves’ network of partners in 32 countries enables these younger choreographers to bring brand new dance to brand new audiences.
Aerowaves is powered by the weekend promotional platform Spring Forward, a festival that travels from city to city, year on year – from Aarhus to Sofia, then to Paris, to Rijeka and on to Elefsina in 2021. Local audiences will rub shoulders with 200 dance presenters as they decide which of the Twenty short dance works they will invite to their own theatres. At least 75 opportunities will be on offer each year, and still more through our new audience development initiatives. Some of these works will be adapted for galleries, concerts, even sports events and the street. One will grow into a piece for young audiences, another will cross the world to find a very different appreciation in Taiwan. It is through these performances and experiences that both artists and audiences grow.
Springback Academy is a parallel project which searches for 10 young writers and puts them on a crash reviewing course under the watchful eyes of four renowned dance critics. In the following years, and with further multi-media training, they will become the writers of our new interactive online dance publication. They will also collaborate in deepening the audience’s engagement through new approaches to discussion following performances and with the artists. These pioneering activities are rooted in the relationships of trust which stabilise a network that has met in a different city every October for the last 21 years, identifying the next Twenty artists after a Europe-wide open call. The continuing confidence of Aerowaves and its Partners has been secured by a Platforms Award during the first three years of the scheme, following which we now seek to capitalise on what we have learned.

The Future Architecture platform acts as key exchange and networking platform for European architecture. The platform enables European museums, festivals, producers, publishers, specialised agencies, academic institutions and other cultural operators in the field of architecture to easily connect and build joint projects, products, services and experiences. In the 1st year the programme will connect 6 museums, 8 festivals, 2 producers, 1 publisher, 1 communication agency and 1 academic institution, who come from 13 European countries. The program integrates some of the key existing initiatives in the field of architecture in Europe, such as European Young Talent Architecture Award (YTAA), organized by the Fundació Mies van der Rohe and Young Architects Program (YAP), organized by the MAXXI in Rome, which extends beyond Europe, with versions in MoMA New York, Constructo of Santiago, Istanbul Modern and MMCA Seoul.
The platform invites emerging creatives of different disciplines to apply to its Open Calls and become main providers of content which will shape platforms’ exhibitions, conferences, summer schools, prototyping, workshops and other programme modules. Open Calls will annually expose more than 500 talents through online presentation, discussion, sharing and public selecting. Creative Exchange and Matchmaking Conferences will enable emerging creators to publicly present their work, meet with museum and festival managers to enter the programmes of major institutions and organisers around Europe, build recognition and develop their professional skills. Members of the platform will select exhibitors, speakers, workshop leaders and other key players, who will tour around different European countries and present their work at the challenging events of the European Architecture programme. In the first year the programme includes 3 exhibitions, 4 conferences, 1 lecture series, 1 workshop, 1 summer school, 1 prototyping, 1 digital bookshelf and 1 residency.
