Kulturanova initiates intercultural and intersectoral dialogue in society, encouraging the creativity of young people through art education, production of cultural content and improvement of public policies in the field of culture and youth.
Novi Sad is open to creating a new culture. For us, a new culture is a process of building new social relations that encourage dialogue, self-examination and critical thinking.
Medianova's goal is to discuss relevant social issues and contribute to positive social change through the production of audio-visual content such as films, photographs and podcasts, as well as through publishing.
Since we live in the digital age, audio-visual forms are extremely close to young people and we believe that through them they can express themselves best. Medianova is therefore engaged in the production of short documentaries and feature films, podcasts, music and promotional videos. Medianova also strives to educate young people on how to make the best use of the opportunities offered by digital technologies and the Internet. Therefore, education in both the field of audio-visual arts and media literacy is an important segment of this programme. Medianova also aims to contribute to the sustainability of the Kulturanova, through service activities, which will be offered to other organizations and individuals.
Artistic innovations in companies are a method by which artists, since they have a different perspective from employees, solve challenges in companies. It is a process in which people, products and / or practices from the art world enter organizations (companies, public institutions, civil society organizations), with the aim of supporting development and focusing on sustainable innovation. It is one of the most direct ways to stimulate innovative thinking, change perspective and experiment. Artists are skilled in engaging human emotions and creativity, as well as trained in creating conceptual objects that can break established routines and open space for new ways of thinking and acting.
Working with artists can help individuals and groups in companies to “see” themselves with new eyes and innovate. In order to be successful and to reach the users, as well as to develop their capacities, organizations have long been investing in creative innovation, competencies, emotional development and cooperation, as well as in the well-being and improving the abilities of their employees. This method has already given excellent results in countries such as France, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Teatarnova is a programme that enables young people to talk about important topics through the theater.
Kulturanova's first play is older than the organization itself, because in 2000 we performed the play in Sarajevo, which was still damaged by war at the time. This also determined the character of future productions, which have always dealt with socially engaged topics. Such was the case with the play Patriotic Hypermarket, which was historic because it re-established cultural co-operation between Serbia and Kosovo after 20 years and 10 years after the conflict.
The Teatarnova programme officially started in cooperation with the organization OPENS2019 and every year, through the workshop process, it created one theater play with young people, in which they created the content of the play. The goal of the programme is that young people, with or without previous theater experience, participate in creating the content of the play, discussions on topics that are important to them, as well as to go through art education.
Within the Teatarnova programme, a methodology has been developed for the use of applied theater techniques in working with young people, and we have also begun work on professional productions of theater plays. We have produced plays and collaborated with some of the biggest artistic names (such as Dino Mustafić, Oliver Frljić, Andraš Urban), and our plays have been performed in theaters in Europe and around the world (such as the Gorky Theater in Berlin and La Mamma Theater in New York).
