中文摘要
格尔尼卡重建组织(加纳和南非)通过“了解创意经济如何在脆弱或受冲突影响的背景下可持续、安全和合乎道德地发展”,直接关注重点通知的范围。它进一步理解艺术在可持续社区发展中的作用,在撒哈拉以南非洲的弱势社区环境中跨越世代。该项目以加纳的城市为重点,以首都阿克拉的拉巴迪社区为中心,并关注南非东开普省汉堡村的农村地区。该项目特别侧重于解决可持续发展目标3 -良好的健康和福祉,可持续发展目标4优质教育和可持续发展目标5性别平等,该项目确定了良好的支持性艺术创作实践,重点是集体共同创作,来自加纳的艺术家,他们的孩子和家庭生活在附近,以及南非的艺术家和他们来自艺术家社区的孩子。该项目提供了一个独特的机会,在撒哈拉以南的加纳城市和南非农村背景下,就创意经济进行知识交流和同行对话。南非的汉堡和加纳的拉巴迪是这个项目的重点,因为它们是两个非常成熟和独特的艺术实践和项目的所在地。在汉堡,Keiskamma艺术项目自2001年开始运作,雇用了100多名妇女。Keiskamma艺术项目以其大型纺织艺术品而闻名,这些艺术品在国际上展出,它们与科萨传统的个人和当地肖像画一起工作。在加纳阿克拉郊区的拉巴迪,Serge Attukwei Clottey的工作室和毗邻的100强GoLokal集体位于。Clottey在全球展出的塑料挂毯都是在他的工作室里创作的。这些塑料来自从西方运来的容器,装满了食用油,加纳许多人重新使用它们来储存水,这对人口的健康产生了负面影响。这些挂毯突出了加纳的水资源贫困和塑料废物问题。格尔尼卡重建、加纳和南非在已经开展的知识交流和影响途径的基础上再接再厉。具体来说,这个项目的灵感来自于2019年4月在毛里求斯与Kids Guernica的Savina Tarsitano合作的经验,作为资助奖的一部分。格尔尼卡儿童研讨会所采用的做法和流程与2021年联合国教科文组织世界可持续发展教育大会对成功教育的定义相一致。因为工作坊本身要求孩子们批判性地思考他们的世界,然后创造性地表达对他们来说重要的东西,给他们希望的东西,象征和平与幸福的东西,表达乐观的未来。这是一项合作努力,使他们参与集体思考他们的文化,环境,朋友和家人的过程。他们必须将他们的集体愿景映射到一个大规模的画布上。每个孩子格尔尼卡直接关系到创作的位置,培养批判性思维,艺术合作,对艺术和社会变革的讨论,并在当地的艺术和文化的民主化援助(联合国教科文组织,2021年)。在2022年学校放假期间,沿着的小学学龄儿童(6-12岁)及其在南非和加纳从事艺术项目工作和/或居住在艺术项目附近的父母将被邀请参加儿童格尔尼卡研讨会。通过这一过程,将共同产生关于艺术项目在儿童和家长生活中的作用的知识和理解,以更好地了解创意经济在地方一级的影响。这将通过讲习班期间的对话和半结构化访谈来实现,并将其纳入纪录片录像。
英文摘要
Guernica Remakings - Ghana and South Africa, attends directly to the scope of the highlight notice by developing "understanding [of] how the creative economy can develop sustainably, safely, and ethically in fragile or conflict-affected contexts". It furthers understandings of the role art plays in sustainable community development, across generations in disadvantaged community settings in sub-Saharan Africa. This project has an urban focus in Ghana, with the Labadi neighbourhood in the capital Accra taking centre stage and attends to a rural area in South Africa, in the village of Hamburg in the Eastern Cape. With a specific focus on addressing SDG 3 - Good health and Well-being, SDG 4 Quality Education and SDG 5 Gender Equality, this project identifies good supportive art making practices, with a focus on collective co-creation, emerging from artists in Ghana, their children and families living in the immediate proximity and artists in South Africa and their children from the artist community. This project provides a unique opportunity for knowledge exchange and peer-to-peer dialogues on the creative economy within the sub-Saharan contexts of urban Ghana and rural South Africa. The two locations of Hamburg in South Africa, and Labadi in Ghana are the focus of this project because they are the home of two very established and distinct art practices and projects. In Hamburg, the Keiskamma Art Project running since 2001 employs over 100 women. The Keiskamma Art Project is known for its large-scale textile artworks, which are internationally exhibited, they work with a personal and local iconography drawing upon Xhosa traditions. In Labadi, a suburb of Accra, Ghana, Serge Attukwei Clottey's studio and the adjoined 100 strong GoLokal collective are located. Clottey's globally exhibited plastic tapestries are created in his studio. The plastic comes from containers shipped from the west, filled with cooking oil and are re-used by many in Ghana to store water, this is having a negative impact upon the population's health. The tapestries spotlight water poverty in Ghana and the issue of plastic waste. Guernica Remakings, Ghana and South Africa builds upon knowledge exchange and pathways to impact already undertaken. Specifically, this project has been inspired by the experience of working with Savina Tarsitano of Kids Guernica in April 2019 in Mauritius as part of a funding award. The practices and processes utilised in the Kids Guernica workshop aligns effectively with the 2021 UNESCO World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development's definition of successful education. For the workshop itself asks the children to think about their worlds critically and reflectively, and then to creatively express what is important to them, what gives them hope, what symbolises peace and happiness, expressing an optimistic future. This is a collaborative endeavour, which engages them in a process of collectively thinking about their culture, their environment, their friends, and family. They have to map their collective vision on to a large-scale canvas. Each Kids Guernica relates directly to the location of creation, fosters critical thinking, artistic collaboration, discussion on art and social change and aids in the democratisation of the arts and culture of that locality (UNESCO, 2021). During the school holidays in 2022 primary school-age children (6-12 years), along with their parents who work at the art projects and/or live in the immediate proximity to the art projects in South Africa and Ghana, will be invited to participate in the Kids Guernica workshop. Through this process knowledge and understanding will be co-produced on the role of the art projects in the lives of the children and the parents to better learn about the impact of the creative economy at a local level. This will be achieved through conversation and semi-structured interviews over the course of the workshop and incorporated into documentary videos.
