Outcomes are built by a process
Most of the time, art and cultural audiences enjoy the experience, and seldom get to know what happens behind the scenes. The process of an artist or collective working towards a final tangible outcome mainly consists of connecting, research, conceptualizing, revising, and creating. This is a very interesting journey, and this newsletter is about inside scoops, process, and enjoying final works
On The Move supports artists and professionals to operate internationally while working to reimagine mobility as fairer, greener, and more inclusive.
Last 26 April 2022 ‘On the Move’ co-organized its first Mobility Webinar of the year, and the founder of Uniarte, Sharelly Emanuelson, alongside Susanne Andreasen, Sara Anjo was one of the three invited speakers.
For this Webinar, On the Move collaborated with Archipel.eu partners & Howlround to discuss cultural mobility in European outermost regions and overseas countries & territories.
The speakers were invited to share stakes and trends, identify burning issues and related needs, and imagine new cross-border mobility flows or fairer models.
This regarding the specificities of these European contexts: from operating in isolation to having a low sense of belonging to Europe, from dealing with the effects of the pandemic to reshaping post-colonial relations, and so forth.

As you may have heard, we have kickstarted two programs this year. These two different programs cater to stimulating growth in two different aspects of the orange economy. Expo focuses on the artists and Stimulá focuses on the producer of creative and artistic events. Read more on what is taking place during these trajectories.

During the 2nd Zoom session, the artists used the first part to go about their notes and thoughts on the book Poetics of Relation by Édouard Glissant and how the literature applies to their art practice. Ruben showed a piece he is working on, which lead to the topic of conversation on how language and sound play a role in shaping our identity, whilst being a natural creation of humanity to survive and emancipate themselves.
Week 1
On Tuesday the 14th of June we kickstarted the Stimulá program. It was a full house with 25 participants from all over the Caribbean. Sharelly kickstarted the session by welcoming everyone and giving a speech about the mission and vision for Uniarte. Followed by Sasha Dees, introduced herself and gave a brief insight into her experiences. Consequently, each participant got the chance to introduce themselves and express their expectations and contributions regarding this trajectory.
Each week there will be an assignment in accordance with the next guest lecture’s discipline. Participants will also work towards a tangible final product. This will be an online presence where each individual has specified and positioned themselves within the creative and artistic market.
Week 2
For the assignment participants had to briefly map out a timeline of 4 films between WOII and now that is important for their island, including their elaboration as to why they choose those films.
Do you remember the news of the restoration of Teatro AULA HABAAI, Curaçao, which is currently the only theater on the island?

We are here with an update on the 2 days of restoring. A lot of volunteers came to help and the majority of them were artists! There is still work to be done, however, it is great to see the progression and the community coming together!
