In Corsica everything is culture, the island is bubbling with artistic initiatives and creative presence, as witnessed by the Riacquistu period. Anchored in tradition, its culture has also been able to welcome the emergence of new methods of intervention and innovation.
The island has always been a little-known/unsuspected centre of creation and experimentation. Through the strong presence of amateur practices, numerous contemporary music training courses, concert cafés, hybrid artistic practices, out of doors and innovative proposals, through the investment of atypical places, through the creation of collectives and networks outside the institutions.
This alternative matrix also forms the basis for the singularities of the island's cultural project.
In the European context, how can Corsica reveal and support the new talents of alternative cultures?
How can the expression of voices on the fringes of institutional spaces, or even protesters, be accommodated within the framework of this bid?
How can Corsican artists join and be part of the great contemporary European aesthetic currents by bringing a specific contribution, linked to its history and its imaginary?
How can Corsica become a cultural laboratory?
