How do artists and cultural workers deal with the diversity of our society? Spring 2007, the book Tracks was published: it followed the traces that twenty artists and arts organistions in Flanders and Brussels have left on their path. A performance, an exhibition or a film is just the top of an entire iceberg. One cannot achieve diversity on stage and a social mix in the audience without conquering a huge iceberg below the waterline, one which remains largely unseen by the audience.
Tracks is a book full of intuitions and methods for those who want to take the intercultrual plunge. This pocket book contains some excerpts from Tracks and offers a subtle description of intercultural competences in contemporary artistic practice.
