About Borderline Offensive

Borderline Offensive is an artistic project lasting four years (2017-2020), dedicated to creative research and social development based on art, which engages artists to explore issues of migration and social cohesion of communities in contemporary Europe, through the medium of black humor as aesthetic / poetic expression and laughter as a mechanism for intercultural socialisation and the creation of a collective identity.

If only two different persons can smile at the same joke, a most difficult and important achievement has been performed: the implicit, tacit and joyful titillation of their common humanity.

About the BO Artistic Residencies

The Borderline Offensive artistic call to arms for artists received over 130 applications from 23 countries, of which 20 applicants were chosen to join the artistic residency during the summer of 2018 in Bulgaria, The Netherlands, Serbia, Slovakia and Sweden.

The selected artists were invited to join the three-year research and process of social development. The artists took part in artistic workshops in the mentioned 5 countries for 10 days, with the goal of conceiving artistic workshops to encourage the dialogue between migrants/refugees and local communities. At the meeting, to be held in September 2018, a number of artworks will be selected for the international tour, which will take place in 2019 in various European countries. The artworks, experiences and implemented processes will all be presented at a final international conference in Goteborg in Sweden in 2020.
