PAX Project aims to develop itself into a movement that induces international long term collaboration and cooperation through arts, culture and science in order to benefit communities

The topography of PAX project suggests a movement between cities that represent showcases of divisive issues - Liverpool, Johannesburg, Istanbul, Guadalajara and London can lead the way to more inclusive societies.

With pursuing pre-set topics for its activities, PAX will try to approach as many individuals and organisations as possible on our trips, in very different contexts and situations. PAX will be constructed from that diverse mapping in a complex process and in close collaboration with all the people and organisations involved.

Three distinct vectors are intended to articulate PAX. Those artistic, cultural and scientific components are expected to reinforcing and supporting each other in order to create a dialogue, a flux among each other stressing the diverse individual realities and the way people work together and confront different situations. PAX is interested in the articulation of non-similarities and subjectivities, rather than in neutralizing them.

PAX is interested in the ways art is confronted by other contemporary cultural practices intertwined with social and political issues in very different territories. Instead of dealing with binary oppositions (interior/exterior, exclusion/inclusion) or stressing national identities, our project tries to establish a more DNA structure which can relate one project to another, one group to another and both to the physical place. We are working on a structure located at that transitory moment when a certain practice displaces itself from one territory to another.

As a trajectory through Liverpool, Johannesburg, Istanbul, Guadalajara and London, PAX Project will reveal the contradictions of the present, the different ways participants are rethinking the classical relation between cultures, races, religions, social classes and other divides.
