Kristóf Horváth - In Here/Out Here (Idekinn/Odabenn)

The artistic residency “In here - out there” took place through two workshops that provided an opportunity to explore the meaning, limitations, violations and applications of democratic and human rights. Each workshop was conducted at the Kalocsa Children’s Home, Primary School and Vocational School and at the Esztergom Special Children’s Home, Elementary School and Vocational School, involving boys and girls from marginalized backgrounds, who committed crimes and some of them were rescued from child prostitution.  The workshops aimed to make the themes surrounding the fundamental rights of the EU accessible to the target group, helping them understand how these rights could influence their lives. To allow participants to get to know each other better and to create a trusting atmosphere, the workshops started with a brief warming-up session that involved engaging theatre games. The artist in residence led an interactive session focused on slam, rap and music. The participants were encouraged to channel their thoughts and emotions into a rap text reflecting their experiences living in the institution and exploring their perspectives on the future, as well as their identity as a community. At the end of the co-creation process, the participants performed the rap together.  The events were realized by Faktor Terminal.
