Overseas Culture Interchange and Ioannis Mandafounis’s company are joining forces for a large-scale artistic, social and local project, Danse(in), in collaboration with the collective accommodation centers for migrants of Tattes (Vernier), Rigot ( Geneva), Prailles-Gavard (Carouge) and Anières.

This ambitious program brings together professional artists, migrants as well as local amateurs around creative workshops. Numerous public highlights, open houses, performances, exhibitions, are planned throughout in order to forge links with the Geneva population while promoting culture by all and not just for all.

Built around creative workshops developed by around ten artists, participants are guided through the practice of dance, music, text, drawing, photography and ceramics. The goal is to emancipate ourselves through art and find the common that brings us together. Dancing to reincarnate, putting words on a thought, reciting its story are all actions considered to be singular pieces of art.
