What is the Re-Imagine Europe project?
Re-Imagine Europe is a four-year project aimed at responding to the urgent social and political challenges currently facing the continent.

Funded by Creative Europe, the project involves the development and presentation of artistic residencies, commissions, workshops and symposia, using art to empower a generation of young, digitally connected Europeans to explore new ideas. Re-Imagine Europe is initiated by Sonic Acts (NL) and coordinated by Paradiso (NL) in collaboration with the following partners: Elevate Festival (AT), Lighthouse (UK), INA GRM (FR), Bergen Kunsthall (NO), A4 (SK), Disruption Network Lab (DE), KONTEJNER (HR) and Ràdio Web MACBA (ES).
