Room to Bloom brings together feminist artists with a migration background who create ecological and postcolonial narratives of Europe. By associating artists and creators who – too often – occupy a peripheral place in the world of arts and places who are considered to be geographically peripheral (Sicily, Ukraine, Poland, Greece), Room to Bloom aims at building a discourse on European Culture that is fully built on the experience and knowledge of the periphery and to bring it back to the centre. Room to Bloom is a transnational network of feminist artists. It trains, assists and supports young artists to co-create professional opportunities. The network formulates proposals for running decolonial and ecofeminist art practices and imagine new ecological and post-colonial feminist narratives for a transnational Europe. Room to Bloom partners with Warsaw Biennale. The project is co-financed by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Commission.
