The scene from the neighbourhood
Be the voice
of your
neighbourhood!

Working together
for a green, competitive
and inclusive Europe

The neighbourhood scene is a local intervention project, through which 40 independent musicians from Timișoara had the opportunity to perform in 10 concerts organised in the local neighbourhoods. Also, they had the chance to participate in a dialogue platform with other artists from the independent sector, together with whom they created an associative structure. The purpose of this association is to facilitate the communication with public authorities and institutions.

During the pandemic, artists – usually inspiring people on the stage- felt totally marginalized as their concerts and contracts were temporary suspended and their interaction with the audience being significantly limited.

The measures taken by the authorities have not been sufficiently relevant as to strengthen the independent cultural sector and that is why we have joined, through this project, national and international initiatives which aim to support the cultural sector.

he project dynamics

Online, but still together!

Within our project, we have organised 10 (online) concerts in 9 different neighbourhoods of Timisoara, the musical genres chosen being varied – classical music, jazz, blues. Through these concerts, 40 musicians had the opportunity to perform, 30 of them being remunerated for their work, the other 10 getting involved voluntary. The neighbourhoods were selected by public vote, using an interactive map of the city which was made accessible on the project website.

Also, within this project, a number of 4 consultative meetings were held, reuniting 40 musicians involved in the project under the coordination of Johnny Bota – artistic director and Mihai Adrian Vilcea – public policy expert.

Working session with musicians

Be the voice of change!

The neighbourhood scene offered musicians the opportunity to discuss topics of interest to them, under the coordination of a public policy expert, resulting in the establishment of an association. This structure will communicate with public authorities and institutions by transmitting position papers and open letters, or by having direct meetings with the authorities, whenever necessary.

Therefore, the project has created the opportunity to develop an intense collaboration between musicians from the independent sector, in Timisoara, in order to help them promote their interests and support their professional needs.
