Samenvatting
The cultural sector as well as local, regional, national and European policymakers are required to adapt to ever-changing practices in transnational cultural exchange: export, import, various forms of cooperation, mobility of people and artworks. Up to the start of the SPACE project, a picture of the artistic mobility patterns and flows in Europe was lacking: how and to what extent are arts professionals mobile across and beyond Europe? What are the current imbalances between the different countries and regions of Europe? Better monitoring and measuring of mobility is crucial, and reliable statistics and data collection are key to developing future cultural mobility policies, both at the level of the EU Member States and at EU level. A sustainable, long-term mapping instrument needs to be developed and implemented across the EU in order to better inform the cultural mobility debate and to highlight existing imbalances. This requires a coordinated effort by partners at different levels of government. In the period 2009-2011 – in the context of the SPACE mobility pilot project – ‘Travelogue’ was set up as a research project to test various hypotheses. Can a tool be developed that makes optimal use of existing information, which is able to link very diverse national datasets on international performing arts tours? And can this tool function as a lever to raise awareness among national governments on the necessity of improving and coordinating data collections? Building on this, the present document reports on the experience of gathering data on performing arts mobility in Europe, and exploring ways of connecting and analysing this data as a means to develop concrete steps for improving data collection on mobility. |
