IETM MEETING
Trans- (latin): across, beyond, on the opposite side
IETM Montpellier
Languedoc Roussillon/France
16th-19th avril 2014
The fact that IETM has not returned to France for the passed 13 years, inevitably raises the question why. Isolation? Lack of interest? of necessity? We don’t think so - thus this invitation! Europe is going through a difficult period. Bad ideas are invading our society. The time is ripe to concentrate on this debate. After the challenge of “Tomorrow†launched in Athens, and from the other side of the European South, let’s pursue this federating movement and contribute to an alternative to the dangerous appeal of nationalism. Trans-formation, trans-border, trans-gender... How can we develop networks based on more collaboration and solidarity? How can we better support the development and international mobility of contemporary artistic and cultural tendencies? From the Spain-bordering region of Languedoc-Roussillon, and the city of Montpellier, where multiple Mediterranean influences are being felt, we invite you to tackle these issues and to discover an ambitious trans-disciplinary and trans-national artistic programme.
