On evaluation in artistic mediation, a conversation between Klaus Fruchtnis and Fran Quiroga

The initiative 'In Between. For mediation in Europe that strengthens communities' aims to intensify a type of cultural mediation that strengthens democracy and citizen participation.

The artist, Asunción Molinos Gordo, begins to imagine her production together with the villagers of Couso.

I am talking to them, picking them out and asking them questions to which they all answer, calmly, expanding and letting memories, memories, bodies, experiences, desires, territory, illusion but also discomfort and fear of a process that, for now, they visualise as inconcrete and diffuse. 

Concomitentes launches the ‘Mental Care Programme for Cultural Mediation’.’

The initiative will include a voucher of individualised psychology sessions for the organisation's team; an annual collective self-care session; the publication of the ‘Guide for a nice treatment’, with lessons to share with the project's collaborators; and a ‘Work climate survey’ in 2027.

The Extremadura project 'Non plus ultra' will be presented in Badajoz on 1 March.

The publishing house Triqueta Verde relaunches the illustrated short story, 'Hospitalario' by El Hematocrítico and Cynthia Hierro

The local forest beyond production. Conclusions of the conference "Common Forestry. Canto pasado hai no futuro".

Productivism is a lens through which we hear the world, everything revolves around it and obviates all those social networks that are not productive, but that make life. The care, the support networks, the meeting places, the party, the socialisation are reproductive aspects that also make the community together. This transmedia story collects some of the conclusions of the conference 'Montes Comunais. Canto pasado hai no futuro', which was held on 16 December in Couso (Gondomar) within the framework of the participatory artistic project Terra Común.

A posta en valor dos Montes Comunais, a súa visibilidade e a substitución xeracional serão o xerme da produção artística

From this collective desire, defined from the mediation process developed in 2023, an artistic commission was drawn up that will inspire the work of the artist Asunción Molinos Gordo.

Notes for further thinking about the future of cultural mediation

The first In Between meeting, which took place in Seville last November, sought to promote a model of cultural mediation in Europe as a fundamental pillar of cultural policies.
