Translocal
Translocal network
Translocal network builds on geographical and cultural diversity, placing emphasis on medium-sized art institutions in (geographical, political, economic) peripheries. It promotes opportunities to develop cooperation in the form of joint knowledge and exchange of activities removed from competition and supremacy.
Translocal was founded on Oct 10, 2012, in Graz by the lead of Kunsthaus Graz/Universalmuseum Joanneum. Since then, the network has been developed by its partners.
The collaboration is intended to strengthen the role and position of the participating museums, each of which represents a very specific European form of practice in the arts. Mobility and cooperation between similar institutions in similarly peripheral situations have been fruitful in the past and are part of the network’s programming of the future as well.
From 2015-2017, 5 members of the network join forces for the project Translocal: Museum as Toolbox, concentrating on new communication models for intra- and extra-institutional education, bringing together curators, educators and artists, and focusing on working together with young adults as a specific, hard to reach target group.
