The Finnish Cultural Institute for the Benelux and the media art association M-Cult<\/a> have been awarded a \u20ac25,000 grant from the Ministry of Culture and Education, Finland for an accessible media art initiative.<\/p>\n

The project will develop an international contemporary art programme to create, test and implement new ways to commission and produce media art. It will bring together artists, researchers, technologists and activists in Finland and the Netherlands to discuss how to make media art – its production and presentation – more accessible especially through the use of new technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis funding comes at a crucial time as it empowers Finnish artists and cultural professionals to build up new connections and establish professional partnerships in the Netherlands. It is a vital investment in strengthening media art in Finland and we thank the Ministry of Education and Culture for believing in this initiative\u201d, says Laura Boxberg<\/strong>, Director of the Finnish Cultural Institute for the Benelux.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThis support will enable us to pilot a new commission and production programme for media art that accommodates versatile and intersecting access needs, by enhancing critical and speculative use of new technology. The history of the disability justice movement with its intersections with other struggles on liveable lives has been constant in dialogue with technological developments. This piloting stage of the programming continues this critical dialogue between art, access technologies and intersecting struggles to the right for liveable lives for different kinds of bodies. Project continues M-Cult\u2019s focus on media art, communities and agency\u201d, says Jussi Koitela<\/strong>, Director of M-Cult.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The project will lead to cross-regional networking between Finland and the Netherlands, new cooperation models and research-based innovations in the fields of art and culture, especially in the field of accessibility. Further information and partnership with Dutch arts organisations will be announced during the of Autumn 2024 and new artwork will be presented during 2025.<\/p>\n
