Philosophy

Mission Statement

Transvoyeur is founded on Art, Culture and Society and associated programmes to mediate and encourage creativity, innovation and diversity in the research and development of the contemporary art and audiences within the multi-cultural communities, regional, national and global. A process of change and exchange through the liberty, equality, respect and consensus of independent practice and mutual collaboration to realise new modes of expression and thinking.

Manifesto

Transvoyeur is an international artist led initiative, a collective which is inspired by the urban environment of the city, constituted by the temporal and spatial references and semiotics of cultural structures and ideological representations. Culture and art is a product of the human condition and life within the city, one of hybridism founded and evolved from the individual combining with the collective. Through this fusion the evolution of both generations and the other cultures manifest innovation and awareness founded on the diversity of individualism forming the universality of the culture and post-modern society. Culture and art one of visualizations, linguistics, expression and communication.

Collective Objectives

Transvoyeur's objectives are to expand into the international art market and represent the culture of the city and cities. To change how art is experienced and the increase both the practitioner and audience sectors in the global market. To transform the urban and international relationships in culture and enable both erudition between individuals, groups and institutions, dialogue and trade of the arts in conjunction with the regeneration of the city. The project is also to engage with groups and institutions to encourage debate and discussion about related events in the city. It is founded on the principles of formulating an enlightenment and awareness of the place, the people and the culture of the cities, this relationship a duality within the network of the associates, individuals and groups who become involved and participate in the research and development, as the encouragement through art is integral to all parties on the temporal and spatial aspects of culture and our individual roles which constitute the greater milieu of the urban environment.

To advocate imagination and contemporary research and developments in the arts and culture. Understanding the artist in modern society has a cultural and social consciousness to cultivate their creative perceptions and process to explore the relationship between art and life. The void between concept and the contextualization of art is distinct and extraordinary. The role of Transvoyeur is to mediate and act as a conduit and bring this creativity to the regional and international audience and to further extend the ideologies to encourage erudition within society through the experience of the art. Thus, it is one to recognise the people of a place through the artistic explorations and creative processes and to personify the individualism and collectiveness of the multi-cultural groups and the fusion of the urban environment. The social and the historical founding the contemporary. To form a sense of empathy and relativity between the artist, the art and the audience, and not merely one of autonomy.

The intention to Transvoyeur is one of not only forming cultural bonds with other places, but to recognise the huge wealth of talent in the city and access this creativity to make a difference in people’s lives, to break down socio-cultural and religious barriers and heighten awareness that everyone has a role to play in the changes experienced and proposed for the cities. To this end, Transvoyeur is to be an active mediator and initiator between the groups and institutions to advocate an inclusive society and the role each individual and groups has in the shaping of the city’s regeneration. To be able to capture the ideas and insights of the people and the place is a fundamental part of the dialogue and art born from Transvoyeur.

International Aims and Objectives of Transvoyeur

Transvoyeur is to act as a mediator and facilitate art between places and establish cultural links between artists, institutions and groups which form the society in the city, founded and developed on research and development in the dialogue and creative process of cultural activity and the referential sources of the cities.

The exchange, the trade and the dialogue of art, culture and societies. It is founded on the fundamentals of the human condition within the urban fabric of a city and the histories which found them. The interlaced communities and institutions in the metropolis, the hybridism of temporal and spatial references, knowledge and sentience.

An arts project for the research and development of international artists to promote distinct foreign work which has a clear country specific dimension and can demonstrate its contribution to the development of cultural awareness and cultural relations and expand the art market to international trade.

Encourage and support the flow of international arts between resident places and developing related cultural exchanges through the research and development programmes and the related dialogue and art produced.

• Social inclusion.
• Neighbourhood renewal.
• Community cohesion.
• Sustainable development.
• Race and gender equality.
• Education.

These are founded by the history of the society, civic and social, contemporary issues and the proposed and anticipated changes in the regeneration and redevelopment of the city. To embody the perception of cultural diversity and the sense of identity.

To become part of the creative industries and initiate programmes independently and mediatory to other groups in this sector and administer on the origins of individual creativity, skill and talent, which a potential of wealth and job creation though the generation and exploitation of intellectual property.

To advocate the arts, in all their rich variety, belong to everyone, regardless of race, class, culture, age, sex, disability or sexuality. To administer and promote this with innovative solutions, build bridges and express differences positively, not just for the individual but for whole communities and representative of the urban environment. Moreover, to break boundaries and inspire understanding to contribute to wider social issues. The arts in a social context can demonstrate excellence. The cultural diversity of this project is celebrating differences means fostering mutual understanding and nurturing mutual respect and ensure this is considered in each initiative structured under Transvoyeur. The culture of the city is not a single entity and should be expressed in terms of the differences which form the hybridism in the place.

To recognise and implement equal opportunities within the structure and objectives of Transvoyeur, with or without disability, to participate across all the at and creative industries. To support the management of the diverse art forms and acknowledge that every ‘body’ has the right to express themselves creatively, but also to manage, innovate and direct. We advocate equal opportunities of all people, with or without a disability, to participate across all the arts and creative industries. It makes commercial and ethical sense to include talented individuals who may have previously been excluded by prejudice or ignorance. Inclusion is an investment in our cultural heritage and creative economy, so it is the aim to enable a large sector of the sectors in the city.

To improve the quality of life and an awareness of the self and place through erudition and cultural initiatives and support the pursuit of excellence and advocate the creative industry. A vision to extend excellence and improve access to arts created from universal experience of the spatial references and experiences of the urban space. This formed by the hybridism of the urban environment, campaigning universality to art, the city and the community.

Through cultural research and development to establish dialogue, mediation and coherence and relations with the groups and institutions within the city. To be structured around the discourse of the research and initiated through artist and collective residential and explorative programmes with groups and institutions in the cities, consultation and analysis. In terms of the historical and socio-cultural environment.

To broaden access for all to a rich and varied artist and cultural life and support the artistic activity aspires to be world class in terms of standard and innovation. To enable opportunity to develop artistic talent and achieve excellence in the arts. To develop the educational and cultural potential of the city’s based artist and cultural resources. To rise the standards of the artistic and cultural education and opportunities and mediate between arts and cultural sectors. Reduce the number of those that feel excluded from society by applying the arts in the research to establish a more comprehensive and universal denomination of the urban environment. Administer this with the management practice and reflect and use the diversity of those who are associated to Transvoyeur, either directly or as part of the fundamental research source.

The role of culture lies at the very heart of neighbourhood renewal and community cohesion, with the consequent benefits for employment, tourism and civic pride. The research and development will be structured in terms to advocate this with consultation/interaction with the various social and institutional groups through out the cities. The arts have the capacity to:

• Develop individual pride and community spirit.
• Help reverse the spiral of decline in disadvantaged areas by fostering a new sense of community and civic pride amongst residents.
• Attract new commerce and businesses.
• Provide a positive focus for community activity and innovative creative opportunities.
• Recognise and celebrate cultural diversity to the cultural benefit of the whole community, socially and institutionally to what constitutes the city.
