I invite you to follow the results of my work from Africa as part of the TPAAE research. The project Transcultural Perspectives in Art and Art Education aims to investigate contemporary art in Europe and East Africa, and forms of art education on both continents, in transcultural perspective.

Innovative in our approach will be setting up the theoretical and practical dialogue, recognizing mutual artistic and cultural influences between Europe and East Africa since the times of the Great Avant-garde movement through contemporary globalization; at the same time valuing cultural heritage and opening it to modern transformations for the sake of community and social development.

The profound research in transcultural perspectives on art and art education will be realized within the TPAAE project by the Consortium containing academic and non-academic institutions from Poland, Italy, and Kenya. International and intersectoral mobility guarantees a high level and effective sharing of knowledge.

All the institutions investigate art, culture, and cultural heritage, and have various complementary competences, allowing for research and implementation of the effects into practice.

From this year’s trip I brought back materials for two exhibitions. I would like to invite you already on June 6 to Basel for the project realized with Alicja Pilarczyk. The next exhibition takes place in the fall under the theme MONOCULTURE.
