Jack Ralite |
Here is the invitation for the meeting on Sunday at 18h culture. Come! Culture has always been a key issue of the General Council of Seine-Saint-Denis. When the government tries to prevent different communities to deal with policies that are not strictly within its competence, on the contrary more than ever the department should not lower the flag and let the "goods" instead of culture, all cultures in our society. Here more than anywhere else, culture is synonymous with freedom, live-sensemble, expression and shared intelligence. In the end
message, you will find some tracks worked in our first meetings in the workshop. This is also an opportunity to discuss these proposals.
leading artists, new forms and styles of the invention, amateur booming, tradition revisited: the Seine Saint-Denis is a land of artists recognized in the world, a cultural crossroads mostly in France.
ambitious local cultural policies have enabled the dialogue between artistic creation and territory. With the idea dear to Jack Ralite a culture for all high level, and a culture of emancipation for all, they have built over time (scene of the town of Aubervilliers, TGP, MC Bobigny, Zingaro Aubervilliers, Academy Fratellini, music festival, festival of urban culture, book fair for youth, toy libraries etc ...).
Florence Hague carries momentum.
This high ambition collides with other visions. Sarkozy tries with Frederic Mitterrand "culture for everyone." Under cover of a better listening needs, they actually advocate a policy of demand, where creativity gives way to 'products' cost. Each according to his social level is required to consume a standardized product which would correspond.
Our strength here is just to think of territory as an area of education, invention and sharing, from an early age, from school. To imagine the city as a collective force of innovation, where the artist has a vision, a vision of the world, because here the thought and design have to do with mixing, difference, sharing, discussion, fighting spirit and the hope behind the chaotic lives.
It is also necessary that the capacity of citizens, residents, are recognized as a positive force, at odds with the image of the ghetto indistinct and sordid " that the talents of young people can not only emerge but to be recognized in their own territory, as a label of renown.
Still does it contain departmental actions that undermine the exemplary actions that have been proven: the declines in subsidies for example Zebrock from Treasure Books. Others did not like the classes at college Cham.
It is not only financial support but a radical change of approach. Some measures deprive artists, teachers, associations, initiative, the benefit structures and leveling down where turnkey projects are take it or leave it.
To exist, to inform, share: the department must have an ambition to match the creativity of its people, its youth, its diversity.
Culture is essential to urban development, social and economic development as individuals. It is not issue of image and prestige but a necessity. This is why culture can not be threatened as the adjustment variable of a budget problem for the benefit of skills called "mandatory".
Culture is a key to the future of this territory. It can not be sold off.
Florence Hague wants to build this collective action at the General Council.
We, painters or sculptors, musicians of the baroque or hip hop, slam poets, filmmakers, visual artists, dancers, photographers invite anyone that culture enthusiasm or concern for dialogue and a platform proposals.
Some tracks mentioned in our first meetings:
• Create a website dedicated to culture and the creation of 93.
• Create a street festival allowing all artists to exhibit their skills
• Doing PR to inform journalists in the territory and outside the territory of all cultural projects ... provide visibility and awareness to cultural actors will make it easier to interest both elected officials but also private funds who wish to patronage.
• Investigate the creation of a theater (which needs? Which public?)
• Support and develop the role of amateur
• Allow the intervention of artists and the public the cultural policy ...
