Unidee in Residence 2014

The 15th edition of Cittadellarte residency programme evolves itself: a new type of educational programme divided in open weekly modules, an experimental knowledge platform based on exchange and research.

www.cittadellarte/unidee/

Few months of an open programme based on weekly units becoming as a public utility conceived as a constant reference for an evolving community. You can enrol designing your own educational path through an on-line tool.

UNIDEE, a programme of intensive and dedicated weeks, trains 'artivators' (activators of social transformation processes through creative ideas and projects), a professional figure that gathers together the characteristics of the artist, the curator, the entrepreneur and the social planner.

The residency weeks will be open to professionals, artists, scholars, curators and anyone interested in delving into specific themes relating to art in the social sphere. The programme is developed by mentors together with a multidisciplinary international group.
Weeks are led by experts suggesting a deep analysis of essential competences and aspects: from inter-subjectivity to commons and alternative economies, from responsibility and new technologies to architecture of the social space, implicities and complicities.
