Interactive Workshop with Inua Ellams, as part of TransEuropa Festival 2011

Arts 4 Human Rights presents a diverse and exciting selection of interactive workshops and performances, which address key issues facing Europe today.

Highly acclaimed, uniquely talented, and equally outstanding performers, including Inua Ellams, who recently completed a series of one man shows for the National Theatre, Katherina Radeva and Alia Alzougbi, contribute their energy and talent to the festival, via a selection of interactive workshops, story-telling sessions, and spoken word performances.

Coming together for the first time, and following the success of their respective festivals in 2010, Arts 4 Human Rights and European Alternatives present TransEuropa 2011; a free week-long festival which encourages audiences to consider topical themes within the unique space of Shoreditch’s Rochelle School, and the challenging environment of a London double decker bus on the move!

TransEuropa Festival is the first transnational festival of arts, culture and politics happening simultaneously in twelve cities throughout Europe. It is not twelve different festivals happening at the same time, but one festival taking place across Europe.

Organised by a team of activists, curators, students, and young professionals from throughout the continent, the festival promotes the values of cultural and artistic exploration, transnational communication, and shared political responsibility.

A spectrum of artists from a variety of cultures and backgrounds explore themes pertinent to contemporary society. Using a plurality of mediums including film screenings, performances, talks, walks, and conferences, the festival examines issues of foremost importance for the future of Europe and European societies, bringing and building a transnational and trans-European perspective.
