On the one hand, the invitation arrived from Poland, with which art\u2019scene I have some contacts and good friends since 2000. On the other hand, the main theme of the congress, \u201cArt for social change\u201d could not seem more relevant to me. One of my main worries as a curator is the impact or the influence that contemporary art may have in society. They are based in the conviction that art is a practice rooted in individuality, personal obsession and a conflict-prone or rather critical relationship to its forms. Thus it creates a specific kind of knowledge, which goes beyond standards and is insisting on diversity and difference. With their proposals, artists offer their vision of the world, point at their mechanisms, problems and contradictions. That\u2019s why one of the main problems of art today is the distance that separates it from the public, and the risk that thee proposals don\u2019t have a real impact or echoe in society. Thus, \u201cArt for Social Change\u201d allowed to explore all these aspects.<\/p>\n<p>Art can change society but sometimes its impact is merely symbolic or functions as conscience-soothing. That\u2019s why I immediately thought on Antoni Abad\u2019s project \u201cMegafone\u201d. The artist here does not set himself up as anyone\u2019s spokesman, instead he provides the necessary means with which others can freely and autonomously express themselves and at the same time think alternatives. But to work really with a specific community and more in an unknown context needs time, dedication and respect in order to be able to access to the people and start working together. The calendar of the project 10 x 10 didn\u2019t oofer us the necessary working calendar and with Antoni decided that the participation in the congress would work as a statement through a docummentary installation about former experiences with different communities. This would allow us to start exploring Wroclaw and detect the potential communities with whom develop Megafone in the near future. The theme of the congress was important but also was necessary that would not be merely theoretical, but could be put into action.<\/p>\n<p>Some months after the Congress, we are in the first steps of working with the handicapped people in Wroclaw. The city is changing and with the Cultural Capital 2016 in the horizon it is important to bring into discussionthe idea of obstacles (physical and also metaphorically speaking).<\/p>\n<p>I believe in art as a mechanism of social transformation, specially in a moment in which society needs to be transformed: we are pushed to be consumers instead of citizens. <span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Information is accessible, we can choose many things, but at the same time it is difficult to discern the information, to form our own criteria, to think.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Politicians no longer govern but follow the guidelines of economic interests.<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">We need not to let our guard down&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.culturecongress.eu\/en\/event\/exhibition_10x10\">http:\/\/www.culturecongress.eu\/en\/event\/exhibition_10x10<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.culturecongress.eu\/en\/event\/10x10_badia_abad\">http:\/\/www.culturecongress.eu\/en\/event\/10x10_badia_abad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/obieg.pl\/rozmowy\/22531\">http:\/\/obieg.pl\/rozmowy\/22531<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The invitation to participate in the European Cultural Congress in Wroclaw came to me with two good reasons to say yes.
