ECHO Academies – everything you need to know about the project
ECHO Academies, based on the experience of implementing “ECHO: European Cultural Heritage Onstage” and “ECHO II: Traditions in Transition”, addresses issues of visibility, networking, employability and opportunities to enter the art market for new European talents. For that purpose, it uses heritage as an inspirational tool, building on the values of the European and glocal perceptions of heritage.

“POLISH BLOOD [NEVER FAILED ME YET]” – hommage à Bogusław Schaeffer
“RE-PATCHED” is an international collaborative project aimed at rediscovering the
legacy of progressive Polish composer Bogusław Schaeffer. The collective of artists
explores Schaeffer's unconventional compositional methods, which blend the musical
traditions of the European avant-garde with Eastern European cultural roots, building
a bridge between Eastern and Western European cultural heritage. The project seeks
to preserve Schaeffer's legacy and pass it on to young composers in experimental
and contemporary music.
LeCAKE Train – Ending a project with many new beginnings
LeCAKE: Common Art Knowledge Europe was a project supported by Erasmus+ that focused on the role of the cultural sector in the ecological transition. Running for two years, from October 2022 – October 2024, the project united seven cultural organisations and a think tank to build a common base of knowledge, skills and resources. The project had four phases, moving from knowledge-creation towards hands-on, practical models, methods and tools. Máté Tenke, former project manager and head of sustainability team at Pro Progressione share with us his experiences of the project:

“I actually have more freedom to make choice with a flat screen” – interview with Vânia Gala, the Artistic Anchor of the Manifest project, about her experience in Nantes and the use of XR
The multimedia exhibition in Nantes marked the grand finale of the Manifest project, showcasing the culmination of two years of artistic work across a wide range of media—from traditional genres like painting to intermedia installations and XR technology. The exhibition, which ran from September 19 to October 6 at l’Atelier in Nantes, attracted over 2,000 visitors and was accompanied by various programs, including panel discussions, workshops, and school visits.
The exhibition aimed to offer an innovative perspective on the history and legacies of the transatlantic slave trade, placing art at the centre of evoking memories and exploring these legacies. Through the works presented, the twenty-two artists of Manifest sought to reconcile both individual and collective memories, ensuring they are preserved from being forgotten. We spoke with Vânia Gala, the Artistic Anchor of the Manifest project, about her experience in Nantes and the use of XR as one of the central mediums in the exhibition, exploring both its limitations and possibilities in shaping the presented artworks.

TBG Food for Thought: ‘the world must develop sustainably if we are all to survive’
With our flagship project, The Big Green, we are bringing environmentally-engaged artists under one large-scale umbrella initiative and experiment with innovative ways of using art to promote sustainability. But what does it mean for us on a personal level? We asked our partners to write us a few lines about what art and sustainability and their relationship mean to them. Now, let us share the thoughts of Simana Markovska (Interpret Europe):
