Fabbrica Europa is a laboratory for the development of collaboration and experimentation in the contemporary arts in Europe. Its mission is to be a space of production, exchange and professional development for the artists and cultural operators of Europe. It fosters the mobility of artists and art-works and so responds to the exigencies of an ever-more flexible labour market. It aims to promote understanding of cultural diversity through a dialogue between different forms of thought and ways of expression. It draws the public closer to contemporary artists and art-forms as a means of investigating a common identity. In this way Fabbrica Europa aims to create an impact that is not solely artistic but also profoundly social.
Our main and most renowned activity is the multi-disciplinary festival taking place every May in the former railway station Stazione Leopolda. It brings together European activities in a dense programme of dance, theatre, music, visual arts, architecture, video, new media. For this reason, we have obtained in 2006 the support from the European Union as an organisation promoting European culture.
Fabbrica Europa’s other activities are interdisciplinary artistic projects;
The last project co-financed by the European Commission – Culture 2000 has been “The Gesture in the cultural heritage of Europe” (2004/05), aimed at developing the theme of gesture through different cultural and artistic approaches, for a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary vision involving new technologies and multimedia. The project has been coordinated by Fabbrica Europa (project leader) in collaboration with Artefactory 41.14 (Procida), Muzeum Institut for Arts and Publishing (Ljubljana), Oxymoron (Athens), Chapter Arts Centre (Cardiff), Mercat de les Flors (Barcelona), Artimage (Graz).
