Art is Us is a project that aims to use the transformative force of culture for community regeneration to respond to the severe impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on both artists and the cultural sector and on social inclusion and cohesion.
"Art is Us" exhibition explores the intersection of art and its potential for community regeneration. Our exhibition showcases examples of artistic interventions and creative approaches in often overlooked communities in Slovenia, Greece, Italy, Germany, and even Ukraine made possible through our virtual art residency.
The exhibition presents a selection of good practices from more than 60 interventions that took place in these countries. It shows practical examples of how art and creativity can bring people closer together, create new ties, facilitate mutual understanding and empathy, and contribute to community regeneration.
The "Art is Us" project aims to support vulnerable artists, including those who have been displaced from their homes due to conflicts such as the war in Ukraine. We opened this exhibition on February 24th, exactly one year after the Russian attack on Ukraine, to raise awareness about the consequences of the conflict and the importance of using creative approaches as a tool for easier processing of traumatic memories.
The APIS institute member of ALF in Slovenia organised an exhibition as part of the "Art is Us" project in Ljubljana at Atrij ZRC, find out more about the exhibition and the artists here.
