February 23, 2017 |
Shadow Casters is a multi award-winning and critically acclaimed international artistic and production platform for interdisciplinary collaboration, creativity and reflection on inter-media art who have successfully and seamlessly combined international collaborations, theatre/film-making, urban intermedia projects, activism, pedagogical work, video art and curation into a coherent single body of work. We have been the leading partner and co-partner on more the 50 small and large-scale projects in Europa, Asia, Africa and N. America since 2001, generating more than 150 cooperations with professionals from more than 30 countries which have resulted in have more than 50 educational, theater and film projects and events. These projects have stimulated the debate on the nature of and contradictions within the ongoing globalization process and on social, political and cultural issues that have revealed acute problems and issues within local communities. Shadow Casters has been instrumental to considerations of the politics of public space, the consequences of transition processes, the status and forms of intimacy as well as the systematic production of amnesia and discontinuity within its regional context. The main concept guiding Shadow Casters is constantly questioning the identity of the individual, but also the integration of individuals in a collective context.
