The Cultures d’Avenir project is initiated by Centre Pompidou and Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) in Berlin and Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB). The programme is made possible with the support of the Franco-German Youth Office (FGYO). Through a series of workshops and activities, the programme invites young film-makers and audio-visual artists to rethink how artistic practices address and intersect with societal issues and how art and culture can play a role in approaching global contemporary challenges. During the course of the programme, the international art institutions involved collaborate with a commitment to critical thought and experimental inquiry while providing their structural support and knowledge.
