Sector or field Arts and technology

Description or summary of the proposed project

We are working on a proposal of artistic creation to raise

awareness about the disasters of war in Europe. Based on

Francisco de Goya's famous series of prints, we want to create an immersive and multisensory artistic experience to bring different groups (especially young people) to the reality of war and its consequences, combining virtual reality headset (sight and hearing) with the latest cutting-edge technology such as haptic gloves (touch). It will be an immersive experience that can be available in any space, in any country (museums, universities, educational centers, old people's homes, etc.) thanks to virtual reality glasses, but also through devices within the reach of any user (computer or cell phone).

We need to involve entities of different profiles to carry out 

different roles: 1) dissemination and communication strategy; 2) co-creation of content to raise awareness about the war(testimonies, different artistic expressions about the war); 3) creation of the musical material, voice-over, theatricalization, script direction; 4) activity dynamization (programming, production, organization of exhibitions and activities).

Objective: TRANSNATIONAL CIRCULATION AND CREATION. 

To strengthen the creation and circulation of European works, artists and professionals.

To make young Europeans aware of the disasters of wars that have left deep scars on European history. Just as Goya 

captured the brutality of conflicts in his engravings, we want young people to reflect on the devastating consequences of wars and build a future in which empathy and understanding prevail over violence and suffering.

The common thread is the disasters of war throughout human history, from the time of Goya to the present day with Ukraine.

Priorities: Digitization; Support for Ukrainian cultural and 

creative sectors.

Activities: Co-design and production of exhibitions and 

cultural and cultural shows; Common development of tools and content Partners currently involved in the project
