On Thursday 13/06 at 17:30 CET Resonances IV artist Jemma Woolmore will be giving a participatory performance at the Citizen Participation and Deliberative Democracy Festival, organised by the European Commission’s Competence Centre on Participatory and Deliberative Democracy titled I/We/They: Rhythm and Ritual for public space.
The Festival is taking place at the CDMA building (21 Rue du Champ De Mars, 1050 Ixelles, Brussels) - to attend please register online.
About the performance
Join artist Jemma Woolmore for a participatory ritual of transformation. Together we will explore the words, sounds and actions that might transform the conference space and imbue it with the spirit of an aspirational public space. Building on the discussion and knowledge shared during the day's program, this ritual is an opportunity to translate and express those ideas through playful, embodied methods.
About the Citizen Participation and Deliberative Democracy Festival
Organised by European Commission’s Competence Centre on Participatory and Deliberative Democracy (CC-DEMOS), the Festival features a variety of activities, including expert panels, conversations, workshops, artwork presentations, exhibitions of participatory projects and hands-on presentations of methods and tools.
The theme for the 5th Festival will be the engagement of citizens in addressing environmental issues. This includes, for instance, transversal concerns related to climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, environmental health, land use, oceans , as well as regional and local issues such as climate-neutrality of cities and energy transition.. Over the last few years, and in response to these issues, we have seen a growing number of participatory processes, such as citizen assemblies, focusing on biodiversity and climate change across Europe – and the world – convened both by public and non-governmental bodies at local, regional, national and global levels, as well as many other non-invited formats of citizen engagement. It is important that we bring our research, practitioner and policymaker communities together to discuss these initiatives and reflect on how to use these tools to help strengthen our democracies and give citizens a meaningful say in policies that concern them.
