New Arts for a New Citizenship

European new cultural diversity has resulted both in inclusion and integration and, quite the reverse, in diverse forms of conflict. The role that art can play within such a scenario takes on a twofold valence: on the one hand facilitating meeting and exchange practices; on the other, safeguarding and strengthening the exclusiveness of cultural and ethnic identities. Following the red thread of creativity and art, the hypothesis is to seek a fundamental pathway of progress and emancipation to conquer new spaces of citizenship, by exploring the possibilities of building unexpected processes for overcoming social exclusion and foster public creativity at the same time.
