It all felt so different, and suddently it didn’t anymore

This is a story about how cross-cultural exchange takes you to an eternal domino of questions, that constantly shifts the horizon. A story making you wish to understand, yet accepting that you cannot. A story making you act anyway, towards the things you wish for. This is an anthologhy of people and their hopes. We would love to share it with you.

Taking what we’ve got

…exploring mediums of creative expression to encourage cultural exchange and lifelong learning. In this portfolio you will meet our attemt to bend our own minds. We passionatly invite you to do the same thing, sharing our extremely inspiring content as well as the network and practical infomation we’ve gained.

The Hope Anthology

for here comes the remarkably overlooked core

To pause and accept where you’re at. To face that it’s not the end of the world that you don’t know where you’re going. To sit down by the ocean, or the riverbank, or wherever you can find a horizon. Maybe see it in front of you while closing your eyes. You know you don’t know, and maybe that could be somewhat exciting. There, in your stillness, you begin to see what you have around you, and inside you. Your creative expression makes it possible for you to find meaning in the birds suddenly passing by, the surface of the rock. Beginning to feel the value within, you realise the value in others. Listen to what makes them continue, and let them hear you out.

“Cómo se relaciona el arte con las demás áreas”

We met María in Iquítos, Peru. Writing her theis as an arts teacher she inspires everything around her. And she let’s herself get inspired. I don’t want to say “despite her life path”, but surely she has endured. Still, she want’s to give; fighting analfabethism in her home, teaching kids at the hospital, and above all, sharing her hope with others.

CROSS-CULTURAL EXCHANGE

By now you should know that we consider exchange of humanity very important. If that’s to be with the random guy at the closest bus stop or a bus stop on the other side of the globe is of ess importance. However, here follows a list of people open for viritual or physical exchange that we’ve met through our quarter a decade of obsessive socialisation.
