Transborder Cultural Forum

FDCT Foro de Diálogo Cultural Transfronterizo / Cultural Transboundary Dialogue Forum CTDF
Autonomous space that is created from an attempt to understand and build communication channels between geographical boundaries, using art language, journalism, research, cinematography, music, social anthropology and more, we aim at a community integration where ideas are exchange. Furthermore, we look at the intersection of similarities between borders in other parts of the world in order to identify similar behaviours and to establish new ways to flourish as individuals and as a society.
This is a space that promotes diversity, through the use of workshops, music concerts, open discussion sessions we invite the artist and/or participant to engage in collaborative process to achieve a decentralization of the cultural offer. Such events will happen in both the metropolitan area of the city and marginalized communities in the border area.
It is also a political space that serves to the community of El Paso and Juarez. It traces back to 2015 as an idea of young individuals worried for the cultural situation in the border. These individuals believe that due to the geographical location of this particular border they need to provide alternatives for consumption of art, alternatives that have social justice impact that
promotes change within the youth community.
We need donations to make out a cultural week in the two countries (Méx-Usa) and to replicate activities in marginal areas. The money will be used to pay the artists for 5 art workshops, production of an art exhibition and one music show.
The deadline for funds is September 30, 2016.
We can give an original art litograph to the supporters.
