About the program: AFFECT, Agora´s Program for Collaborative Artistic Practices, was conceptualized and designed by Agora Collective e.V. to run throughout the year 2014, divided into three modules. The program challenges the resident artists to address collectively the question `Where does Art intersect with the Social`? .

AFFECT Module I-II-III brought together a moderator and five facilitators, chosen because of the relevance of their practices – along with the 7 international artists-in-residence in Agora. Focused on group practices, the program is structured into five phases lead by each facilitator: contextualizing, nourishment, conceptualizing, materializing and outcome.

Since mid.2014 AFFECT is part of the COLLAB Arts Partneriship Program (CAPP), together with Create-Ireland (coordinating partner), hablarenarte:, Kunsthalle Osnabrück, Live Art Development Agency, Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art, M-Cult and Tate Liverpool, a transnational program delivered in 46 months granted by the European Union.
