Why So Myrtsi? Myyrmäen Taiteiden yö 2024
The Other Side innolla esittää: ONE-DAY STAND -tapahtuman ensimmäisen editio yhteistyössä Catalysti Artist Association -yhdistyksen kanssa Myyrmäen Taiteiden yössä 2024, jonka järjestää Myyrmäki-seura.
Vantaa juhlii tänä vuonna 50 syntymäpäiväänsä, ja Why So Myrtsi saavuttaa ensimmäisen täyden vuosikymmenen merkkipaalun. Tätä juhlistaakseen The Other Side ja Catalysti ry lyöttäytyvät yhteen. Catalysti ry on vuonna 2013 perustettu voittoa tavoittelematon järjestö, joka toimii kulttuurienvälisten, aktivismin ja taiteen rajapinnoilla työskentelevien taiteilijoiden verkostona. Yhteistyön merkitys perustuu Myyrmäen kaupunginosan monikulttuuriseen ympäristöön, Catalysti ry:n ja sen jäsenten kulttuurienvälisyyteen sekä taiteilijoiden ja yleisön väliseen vuorovaikutukseen ja suhteisiin, joita rakennetaan performanssitaiteen keinoin.
Tähän tapahtumaan The Other Side valitsi viisi ehdotusta Catalysti-taiteilijoille järjestetystä avoimesta hausta. Valitut performanssit hyödyntävät osallistavia elementtejä ja vuorovaikuttavat yleisön kanssa julkisissa tiloissa. Taiteilijat luovat immersiivisiä ympäristöjä, joissa sosiopoliittiset ongelmat artikuloidaan leikkisän ja radikaalin läsnäolon sekä vaikuttavan toiminnan ja eleiden kautta.
