European Projects (2008 – 2021)

INFRA · Inclusive Network for Refugee Artists
From 2019 to 2021, Latitudes Contemporaines has coordinated the European project INFRA – Inclusive Network for Refugee Artists. INFRA aimed to set up a network to promote the professional and social integration of artists in exile. Supported by six cultural and performing arts organisations, it aims to help these artists create professional links with the European cultural sector.
This project has brought together four main partners, Latitudes Contemporaines (Lille, France), the Music and Drama Theatre (Tbilisi, Georgia), the Teatro di Roma (Rome, Italy) and the Vooruit (Ghent, Belgium), and two associated structures, the École nationale supérieure des arts visuels de La Cambre (Brussels, Belgium) and the MIR Festival (Athens, Greece).
INFRA – Inclusive Network For Refugee Artists has been supported by the European Commission as part of its Creative Europe international cooperation programme.
