'In Mar Mikhael': Exhibitions, Talks and Workshops
Mar Mikhael is a neighborhood that is changing. While its inhabitants continue to enjoy its traditional characteristics, young artists, craftsmen and designers have located their trades in former garages. Though this has contributed to Mar Mikhael’s appeal, it has also attracted real estate development and nightlife, putting Mar Mikhael’s atmosphere under threat.
GAIA-Heritage is hosting a week-long event of activities In Mar Mikhael within the EU-funded project MEDNETA that aims at reinforcing creativity (arts, crafts and design) and enhancing their role in the regeneration of neighborhoods. The event includes three separate yet joint activities.
Behind the Object will present the different creative processes of artists, craftsmen and designers of the neighborhood. The exhibition will display the two complementary phases of the creative process: imagining and conceiving new concepts and ideas, and transforming them into products. Participants will be using a variety of media (objects, sketches, photographs, videos, or installations) to explain their process.
