La culture : de quel droit ? - Droits d'accès à la culture : combattre l'exclusion par la participation active
The Aix-en-Provence and Avignon festivals are joining forces this year at the Rencontres d'Arles for a theme-based rendezvous that is in line with the European Year for combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. Exclusion mechanisms are very closely linked to the ideas of access to knowledge or culture, the acceptance of the other and differences, to that of the common good and fundamental rights. A number of artists, artistic projects and cultural operators are directly concerned by these questions and are attempting to find concrete answers, open doors and create links and meaning. These examples question society at the moment when the European Union is making the fight against poverty and exclusion one of the pillars of its policy for the next 10 years.
The right of access to culture will be brought up through projects that propose an access and active participation to marginalised individuals and publics whose access to culture is blocked, through mediation, practice and work in common.
