The Atelier was hosted by la briqueterie CDCN du Val-de-Marne and took place on 22 and 23 March 2023 as part of the 22nd edition of the Biennale de danse du Val-de-Marne at la briqueterie CDCN du Val-de-Marne, Vitry-sur-Seine. Registrations were open to both EDN members and non-EDN members.
Common in the international cultural sector, yet still hard to grasp for many working in the field, the notion of equity encompasses important issues: representativeness, cultural rights, solidarity...
How can artists and professionals seize the principle of equity in creation, in their relations with the public and in international collaborations? The two-day Atelier, open to artists and cultural professionals, offered a space for discussion and practice around issues of fairness and solidarity. Space was given to both European and non-European perspectives.
