U sklopu projekta „Ritam zajedništva“ realizovane su plesna radionica i radionica oslikavanja murala sa mladima iz Stoca, pod mentorstvom mladih profesionalnih umjetnika i umjetnica.
Projekat je doprinio formiranju kreativne i edukativne platforme koja podstiče međugeneracijsku i međukulturnu saradnju, te promoviše vrijednosti zajedništva, razmjene i savremenog umjetničkog izraza.
Polaznici i polaznice radionica aktivno su učestvovali u svim fazama projekta – od istraživanja, preko razvoja scenske tehnike, do završne javne izvedbe.
Posebno je značajna lokacija realizacije projekta – grad Stolac, u kojem i trideset godina nakon završetka rata postoje duboke društvene podjele koje oblikuju svakodnevni život zajednice. Jedan od najočiglednijih i najproblematičnijih primjera institucionalizovane segregacije jeste činjenica da osnovna škola i dalje funkcioniše po principu „dvije škole pod jednim krovom”. Ovaj model ne samo da fizički razdvaja djecu, već im uskraćuje mogućnost zajedničkog učenja, druženja i odrastanja, čime se sistemski održavaju i produbljuju međunacionalne barijere.
„Ritam zajedništva“ pružio je i podršku mladim profesionalcima kroz njihovo učešće u produkciji umjetničkih radova djela, a učesnicima i učesnicama omogućio neformalnu edukaciju iz oblasti izvedbenih i likovnih umjetnosti, kao i priliku za druženje i timski rad.
Nakon realizovanih radionica upriličen je javni plesni nastup, a u školskom dvorištu oslikan mural sa motivima grada Stoca.
„Ritam zajedništva“ je podržan od strane Rockefeller Brothers Fund-a i Federalnog ministarstva kulture i sporta.
Rhythm of Togetherness
As part of the “Rhythm of Togetherness” project, a dance workshop and a mural painting workshop were organized with young people from Stolac, under the mentorship of young professional artists.
The project contributed to the development of a creative and educational platform that fosters intergenerational and intercultural cooperation, while promoting the values of togetherness, exchange, and contemporary artistic expression.
The participants were actively involved in all phases of the project – from the research stage, through the development of performing techniques, to the final performance.
The location of the project’s implementation is particularly significant – the city of Stolac where even thirty years after the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, deep social divisions continue to shape everyday life. One of the most evident examples of institutionalized segregation is the fact that the primary school still operates under the principle of “two schools under one roof.” This model not only physically separates children but also denies them the opportunity to learn, socialize, and grow up together, thereby systematically maintaining and deepening interethnic barriers.
“Rhythm of Togetherness” supported young professional artists through the production of artistic works and performances, while participants had the chance to gain informal education in the fields of performing and visual arts, as well as opportunities for socializing and teamwork.
After the workshops were completed, a public dance performance was held, and a mural depicting motifs of the town of Stolac was completed in the schoolyard.
Supported by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sport.
Hvala građankama i građanima Stoca.
Our thanks go to the citizens of Stolac.
